Hi, all,

I'm a Sprint PCS kinda guy, so seeing the FFF feature for downloading a pic of Serenity to use as wallpaper on my phone just excited the livin' crud out of me. However, it won't work for me. I followed the instructions, got the message on my phone, extracted the URL, and went to it, but all I got was text. No image, nothing downloaded to the phone, nada.

Has anyone else gotten this to work? Specifically, anyone with a Samsung i500? Any enlightenment y'all can shed would be greatly appreciated.

It worked great for me. I have it on my phone right now. It also worked for a friend of mine.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

What type of phone do you have? i500?

It won't work on the I-series because they run on a different platform. But this makes it very customizable and you can find web sites with downloads and even make your own. I found plenty for the I330.

Beatle, I owe you a big damn beer. Dunno why it never occurred to me to search for such a site. Found a great one now, though, but it didn't have any Firefly backgrounds. I fixed that fast enough ...

Any other i500 users can check it out at http://i500.nopdesign.com/

That's the same place I go for the I330. I have not made one yet but it looks simple enough.
I'll take that BDB anytime.

Not quite the same thing but .... MoonMagick's elder daughter has the BDM countdown on her cel phone.
