Sony Ericsson Stuff

I found this site for downloading many themes for sony ericsson :

I also found it's interesting to send a pic through regular sms :). It has several sizes to be able sent from sms, here are some that I already know (all in pixel):
  • 32x32 (cost 1 sms)
  • 28x72 (cost 3 sms)
  • 14x72 (cost 1 sms)

They also have to be in wbmp format (wireless bmp). To create one, you can use photoshop to convert pics you like:
open the pics you want to convert with photoshop
  • change its size by : "Image->Image size..." or "Image->Canvas size..."
  • choose "Image->Mode->Grayscale" (have to do this to make it convertable to bitmap)
  • choose "Image->Mode->Bitmap"
  • choose "File->Save as..."
  • choose WBMP file format

Now the pic is ready to use in your sms :). Just transfer it to your cell phone, and add it to the sms.

It's hard to convert one's size without loosing its quality though... ;(, so try to use source picture that has little enough size that you don't have to reduce it anymore.

Hint:
You can search for pic from internet. Lots of cell phone's service provider will show their picture messages as gif/bmp format. They're already in good b/w format and compatible size, so you can simply convert it to wbmp without loosing its quality.
