I have around 50 picture sms..there are in the nlm format.But my phone wont recognize them...Does anybody have picture sms?

You need to Logo Manager or other 3rd party PC program to rename it in .ota format and then later transfer it to your phone.

Here's how:
1. First you will need Logo Manager by www.logomanager.co.uk
2. If your graphics/picture are saved in your PC then open the graphics/picture using Logomanager
3. Once the picture is open in Logo Manager, click File and click Save as
4 In Save As type, click the drop-down arrow and choose .ota bitmap
5. Now close Logomanager, locate the graphic/picture that you saved as .ota bitmap, you will notice that the file extension is .otb, right click on it and select rename and change the .otb to .ota. Now connect your phone using Infrared or Bluetooth, transfer the file and when the phone received it, save it and it will be automatically save in "Picture Message Folder.
