Back from tropical paradise and back to work, eh? 
How does a phone photo not have a suitable format for forum display? Sincere question.
You can crop, at least on an iPhone, and I'd assume other phones with camera/photo functions would let you do the same with an "edit" button. I don't do any of that with "dispatches from the field". I just upload it to Flickr and then mess with trying to copy/paste the link from a little screen.
And yes, Flickr app's upload is soooooo cumbersome. It shows previously uploaded photos, I have to click those, back & forth a couple of times from the photo library because I can never remember quite how it works, deselect the previously uploaded photos, which you'll have noticed doesn't always work and it re-uploads the same photos even when they aren't selected, select the new ones, back through a couple more screens, finally upload them, and then they're just kinda there in the photostream and if I want them in albums or to add captions or change titles, I have to do it on the web version. On the tiny screen if I don't have a laptop with me.
