You have to find/save picture messages on the PC in the .otb format (you can use LogoManager to do that). Then rename the files from .otb to .ota and send them to the 7650 (e.g. using IR, right click, send to nearby computer in XP). VOILA! It recognizes the picture in the incoming message and when you save it, it is stored in the picture messages folder! :D

i dun quite understand about saving picture messages on the pc in the .otb format. How do i get the picture message from the phone to the PC or can i take any picture and use Logomanager to convert ?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do...

If you want to transfer a picture message from your PC to the 7650, do what I described above: Draw/load an image in LogoManager, save it as OTA Bitmap (*.otb) instead of *.nlm, then rename it to *.ota and transfer it to the phone via IR.

If you want to do the opposite though, although I haven't tried it, you should be able to transfer the picture messages from the 7650 to the PC using something like eFileManager or SeleQ. They are stored somewhere on C drive of the 7650 as *.ota files. Then rename the .ota to .otb on the PC and open it with LogoManager..

You can always do that in DOS, by running the command prompt.

When you're there, type:
ren file_name.otb file_name.ota

Hope this helps. ;)

how do i rename the file from .otb to .ota before sending via IR?You can simply do that in Windows Explorer: Right click on the file and choose "rename" from the popup menu. You must have chosen not to hide file extensions for known file types, though, in the Windows Explorer options.
