in an thresd listed here i got information regarding extrecting MBM from SIS files.
i followed the steps and downloaded the required softwares and WOW i extrected the MBM files.
so where do we need MBM files, are they pics., data, or something else,
pls tell me , it sounds intersting.....

.mbm are Symbian operating system Multi-BitMap files. I.e., one file, which contains one or many individual bitmaps.

E.g., Series 60 Themes for phones like the 6600, 7610, etc., are contained in an .mbm file (a single Theme can have hundreds of individual bitmaps).
