Why are Samsung t629 cell phone pictures not size it says?

I was taking pictures in megapixel mode which is like 1182×864 or something like that, but when I send them to my album, the photo is like 470×320 pixels. This is tiny. My ancient Sharp buzz from 2004 took surpass pictures with less megapixels!!! Am I doing something incorrect or what? Why are my pictures tiny when I send them to my album and enlarge them? Please help, thanks!
