Guys, I couldn't believe this is true, but it's not a Windows Phone problem. It is a SkyDrive Problem. I uploaded a ton of photos from my N8 at full 9MP (4000 x 2248) resolution.
On SkyDrive, they're now about 2.3MP (2048 x 1151) resolution.
Skydrive seems to be thought to be a way of showing and sharing photos to others, but not a proper backup.
When you upload a picture directly from a PC, it has a setting "automatically resize pictures to 2048 px" automatically selected.
During a test with a very large image (5000 x 3750), I unselected the option. It uploaded full size. Tried to upload an image then from my N8 (again 4000 x 2248), and it still resized it to 2048 x 1151.
I can't find any settings in SkyDrive to enable full resolution upload in general. So, it seems to really be a SkyDrive native issue, not a Windows Phone issue.
