You can really use any picture that is on you phone for wallpaper. When you sync your phone the pictures are "resized" for the phone. I have been using my pictures from day one.

Actually, they aren't resized when they are synced. If you wan to use one as a wallpaper, you'll have to resize it yourself using a program like Photoshop - I use GIMP, but it's Mac only. The dimensions of the image need to be 320x480.

OK. So I am trying to learn something here. What does it mean when you sync your phone and it says optimizing photos? I use a NIkon dslr and a small picture is 2048x1356. I take these right from the camera card to the phone and they "fit". I don't do any resizing.

Thanks John just had a blank on wallpaper size. Hit the search and up you came with the answer.
