Deleting photos on my iPhone 4 is slow and the small screen limits my ability to assess the photo quality. I would like to use view and delete bad photos which are on the iPhone with the convenience of my mouse and big monitor.
I have Picasa and Microsoft Office Picture Manager installed, but neither seem to be able to view the photos without first importing them. Managing photos after they've been imported defeats the purpose, which is selectively removing pictures from my phone.
Windows explorer almost works but it seems to display a considerably compressed version of the pictures which makes it harder to evaluate picture quality than it is when I simply view the pictures on my phone.
Update: Windows Photo Viewer a serviceable option in that it displays the photos at high resolution, has buttons to advance through the photos and delete. What it lacks is the ability to view multiple (perhaps 4) photos simultaneously so I could quickly compare the photos against each other.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

When you open up the folder containing the photos in Windows Explorer, click the down arrow next to the button I circled on the top right of the window, and choose "Extra Large Icons":
This will zoom in your photos to a much larger size.
If you want to quickly evaluate a photo without opening a new program, you can also click the button to the right of the previous one mentioned (circled here):
This will enable the preview pane to be visible on the right side of the Explorer window. When you select an image, it will load a higher-resolution preview of the photo on the right side. You can resize the preview pane to get a better view of the photo, as needed.
It is worth noting, based on your previous comments, that this solution will display the images in as high of a resolution as the zoomed size will permit. This includes the preview pane. Conceptually, the preview pane, if resized to be large enough, will display the photo in full resolution.
