Well after about 2 weeks of digging through various forums and Googling my a$$ off I finally fixed the tiny small stinking MMS picture size problem lol. First thing's first the two main links you'll need are:
This is the thread which contains the Arcsoft MMS cab needed to really get things rolling.

This is dcd's site with updated carrier cabs (which has the VZW carrier listed)

Direct links to the cabs in case admins would like to attach the files to this forum for archival purposes:

Instructions are fairly simple, install the 2 cab files, soft reset phone. Open up Messaging and you'll see a new category/folder called SMS/MMS (your original MMS folders are still there). Click on the SMS/MMS folder then on your Menu go to MMS Options > Servers Tab. Click on Verizon Wireless then scroll down to "Connect via:" and choose Verizon Wireless and if needed change "Send limit" to 399k. Hit Done and close it up then open up your favorite registry editor and navigate to:
HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\Arcsoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader
Once there you need to enter your 10 digit cell phone number in the Value data field for the X-VzW-MDN key. Save and close and it's probably not needed but I did a soft reset anyway.
Enjoy receiving normal sized MMS picture messages once again.
There are few bugs I'll be looking into that I've come across so far:
- To send an MMS you have to create it via the SMS/MMS messaging area OR click and hold a file and select Send via MMS. Some creature comforts like sending MMS from your Camera program or Media Album. What happens here is that the MMS sent via these programs gets created in the "MMS" folder rather than the new "SMS/MMS" folder.
- When receiving a video MMS (3gp is only one tested so far) it won't play once downloaded and opened within the MMS. You have to save the file to your phone and play it via your own video player (I was using Touch Player)
- As mentioned before you're stuck with the original MMS folder for your Messaging "inboxes" but this hasn't really been an issue except when trying to send MMS via other programs so far.
