Share original operator backgrounds

17 replies · 4,640 views · Started 11 February 2003

I would like to see what other operators provided with their phones, around the world.
Here is the one for Orange (UK)..
It is an out of focus picture of autumn (fall) trees, with an in focus squre of the same picture in the centre. Orange have used the colour of the leaves to show their brand colour and the in focus square represents the logo they use and are known by in the UK, all you have to do is see the orange square and you think of Orange (Clever branding I thought)
Also I think it looks rather cool, and I revert back to it every so often.
What else is out there?

nothing here in Kuwait the providers do not supply anything ... your on your own!

but i am hearing things might change as Vodafone just entered the market here!!!

let's wait and see!

Ok, this is the german t-mobile one. Its a picture of the telecom biking group, posible a shoot from the toure de franc or even out of a training session, don't know.

he means that the picture of the artist drawing (the one of the box itself) is the default background .. which i think is true with most users!!!

Has no one got any other pictures then? They should be stored in z drive I think.

Yes they are in z:system/data under the name of your operator probably, with the extension mbm. If any one can't convert these into jpg, just post them and I will convert them for you.

Just out of interest, how did you convert an mbm file to a jpg??

I used a conversion program on my psion series 7.
I think there is a windows program that does the same but I can't remember the name of it at the moment.

Cool, thanks. That pointed me in the right direction anyway.

If anyone else is interested, I found the following program called MBM Whizard :

Then what do you know?? - I just spotted this thread posted in the 7650 forum an hour before my last post:

This is my 7650 standard wallpaper.
I don't think it is related in anyway with my provider (vodafone) so I assume that it is the standard at least here in greece.
The complete address z:\system\data\euro.mbm

I have converted the file to jpg using xnview

Thank you, I will try I just need more input from others please, I only have one 7650 from one country myself.
