May 23, 2006 - Some people think that what we wear defines who we are, and a lot of the time it's actually true. It doesn't take an American Idol judge to figure out that how we look on outside determines how people perceive us. Ordinarily we really shouldn't care what other people think, but it couldn't hurt to get a little style and coordination in there once in a while, right?

If you're the type to hold time-intensive shopping sprees at the local Bargain Hut, chances are you've also got bland, expressionless, generic wallpaper smeared across the front of your cell phone. You're not making the most of your gadget's ability, you mobile phone user you. Maybe it's time for it (and you respectively) to actually develop a little personality.

Part two of our four-part peek at Mobizzo, the new online source for all things mobile-phone related, is all about wallpapers and the cell phone junkies (you know who you are) who love them. Thanks to the inclusion of high-resolution colored screens, today's mobile phones are more than capable of displaying of a wide range of photos and animated images. Remember back when cell phones could only display monochromatic logos? Yeah, those look like poop compared to what you can get these days.


Even mo' Mobizzo!



Interested in showing off those sweet cell phone skills�and movie trivia skills�and pop culture knowledge skills? Fans of 2004's geek fest Napoleon Dynamite have a wide range of full-color scans of everyone's slack-jawed hero and his posse of socially maladjusted compadres. Are surly mastodons and jittery rat-squirrel cross-breeds more your style? Images of Ice Age: The Meltdown's resident loons are in hefty supply. Even acorn-loving Scrat himself has his own dedicated page.


Napoleon shows us how it's done.



Avid followers of 24 can have their own stare down with Jack without feeling like they're going to get the crud beaten out of them for defying super agent Bauer. Yeah, we know; as if a picture of Keifer Sutherland is really going to jump out and lay the smackdown on some unsuspecting cell phone user, although sometimes we fantasize about Agent Bauer materializing out of thin air to right the wrongs of society (especially during those times when we're waiting at the DMV).

If animated life is more your speed, shots of the world's most homicidal toddler Stewie from Family Guy can be had for a couple bucks as well as some exclusive graphics from Seth MacFarlane's other irreverent look at Americana, American Dad.


Behold the 24/Family Guy series crossover! Hey, it could happen.



The few of you who think that TV and Hollywood are nothing but expertly marketed bunk can still choose from a generous selection of image odds and ends, the most striking of which are the Obey Giant! and Lucha Libre wallpapers. Just as much art as simple cell phone schwag, they add more than just a touch of color to your usually drab phone aesthetics and turn them into statements. If your statement is "I heart graffiti", that is.
