Thanks Newton,
For everyones benefit as much as mine could you try and answer a bit more here on the forum please?
Approximately how many files would need to made, and apporximately how much would it cost me to have you hand me a finished product like your example of the Oprano theme?
Say these guys loved your Oprano theme example... and wanted to offer it to members? Would it cost a lot of money and would it be a lot of hassle dealing with lots of file variants to cover most handsets being sold as new in the shops today?

Sorry for the delay, I am still being ravaged by setting up these pc's, anyone have a hammer?
Opti, I will provide as much information as I can without losing the business advantage.
The Oprano symbian one was made for free, as this is a forum i admire, due to its professionalism and business minded thinking. The people who frequent this board are free to use the theme, as they see fit, and it is free to download without restrictions.
The bottom most theme on the
http://www.xxxamigoz.com/ads2/ page was created specifically for Nickatilynx as his phone only allows for the change of colours, backgrounds and screensavers.
You could have 4 distinct types made, one for the microsoft os, one for symbian os, one for motorola and one for sony, all with the branding of your choice. These would be downloaded from the site of your choice, with installation instructions for each, ready to be pushed to the phone via the usb cable (or ir) that came with the phone purchase. These 4 should cover a lot of end users phones out there.
The newer phones such as 3g phones currently being pushed in the shops, do have the ability to have everything changed on them, from custom icons and backgrounds etc and depending upon the complexity of the theme, would depend the price.
It would not cost a lot of money to produce these for your members, typically a fee of $xx for each type of theme created would be required, along with any content or images you require to be included.
