I never had a problem with viewing pics on 1.5, but the sending them was one for me. The way to get around it is to go into the messaging app, then create a new message then add an attachment to the message. Pick picture for the option and then pick create new. That's the only way I know for directly sending one. If you want to send one that has already been taken, then you have to go to the picture, select edit, crop it down and then the resized photo should be small enough to send. Hope that helps you out.
