Image file type - anyone know?

I have a new Samsung sch-a670. I have the data cable and s/w (BitPim) that will allow me to read the files on the phone - and, therefore, to download picture files directly rather than paying my cellular provider a ridiculous amount of $$ every time I want to keep an image.

I've been able to download the files, but I haven't been able to open them. I have PhotoShop, as well as other graphics applications.

Does anyone know what kind of files these are, and/or what I'd need to open them?

TIA

For me if I add the .jpg extension they open with any image editor.

They are jpegs with some file header crap.

Thanks for the input.

Interesting. I've tried renaming them with .jpg, .gif, .vga, .bmp, and some other extensions. Nothing I have will open them. I sent a couple to a friend who has a relatively new Mac, and he couln't open 'em either.

At this point, I expect to take advantage of my cell phone provider's 15-day return policy and get rid of the phone. I don't want to pay to get images off the phone, and the calendar s/w on the phone is garbage. I use the calendar a lot, and so I need something better.

I find that strange.

Good luck.

I also have the datacable to upload the ringtones and images to my phone.
The phone supports bmp and png files. But I'll stick with bmp files.
The file should be around 20KB, 128 x 128 pixels, and 8 bit depth.
