Is there still a way to get custom logos and screensavers for old Nokia phones such as the 3310?

I bought this retro phone from Ebay and as soon as you turn it on, a crudely drawn Osama pops up. I'd like to replace it with something else.

What's wrong with Osama?

It depends on the view. Your opinion is not universal you know.

I believe there is a special format of files that these phones use for logos. I remember we used to be able to send them via text-messages so they are generally small text based logos. I'll see if I can find some more information.

Thanks. Please post here if you find out a way to do that.

How is an image offensive? I'd understand if it was a rendering of rape or murder, but it's just a dude(who with new evidence could not only be innocent but also died years before claimed)

You're not hip or unique and that technology is not old enough to be vintage.

Ok so I found what you were loooking for:

these are called "operator logos". A quick google search reveals many ways to make and upload these images.

One of these I found to be interesting is a data cable that can be used to change the operator logo. Have a look;

http://www.nowgsm.com/3310cable.htm

The logos themselves seem to be simple gif files of a specific resolution.

I also found this page on geocities (oh damn) which lists a couple of software that you might be able to use to create and upload a new logo.

Godspeed OP

If you have a newer s40 phone, say a 6230i, you can connect to it over Bluetooth, and then use it to send operator logos and ringtones by SMS.

(Not OP) it's a good phone though. Takes calls, sends SMSs, good battery life, very customisable, will survive a nuclear holocaust.

I'm not doubting that. I had the old Nokia's when they were current. I've had 5146, 3110, 3310 and others and you're right, but they're not vintage. They're not cool either. Op is trying to sell is as such.

3310's have a certain hipster vibe to them because they were so many peoples first mobile, and also because they are a damn fantastic phone.

My first. Never paid a cent for it, I got scammed into it by the kiosk guy and a person we knew in common who was a tweaker. My dad saw 200 and 300 dollar cell bills coming in and I told him I used it less than ten times per week, for just a few minutes. He called the cell company and flipped shit that they sold a kid (me) a phone and billed me for a non-family adult's (tweaker) usage of a separate phone on the same account. They apologized and cancelled all charges to me. Goofy POS phone took AA batteries.

MicroTAC anon from above here...
Years ago I had a similar phone. I think it was a Motorola. It also took either battery pack, 4AA, or with adapter cradle 4AAA. It was actually a pretty cool GSM phone.
