the t68i only has 256 colours so i think it will always be like that.

Upgrade to a wonderful looking t610!

your propaganda is very touching...
but that phone has a poor reception, and lack of 640x480 pics, which matters a lot for me...

So, in any case, you've got a wrong device for your pictures. Use your phone for communication and you'll be ok

Remove or lower the dithering of the image in Photoshop.

BTW the T610 has better reception than the T68i

@ommadawn
You can't get rid of the pixels. You are probably working with a photo picture with a lot of "natural" color variations. Basically what happens is this: The image contains true color. The phone can only display a defined set of 256 colors. When you load the palette, and convert the image to indexed (in photoshop), photoshop will try to select the closest matching color from the 256 color palette. When dithering is used, photoshop will set several nearby pixels to specific colors to create an overall effect of the actual color used in the original image. Since when you do that, several pixels are used to display a color of one pixel, you get a grainy (pixelated) effect (just like mosaic - if you stand close it's looks like a random mix of dots, if you step away - you begin to see the image).

From my experience, you might be better off saving the file as GIF. While the colors might get a little synthetic look, the presense of these "white dots" you refer to, will be minimized. For some reason these "white dots" show up much more in photo images saved as JPEG then GIF when viewed on T68.
If I had all the answers, I wouldn't have any questions.
