About the OTB format
OTB — On-the-air Bitmap (Nokia)
OTB is a monochrome bitmap format originally used by Nokia feature phones for sending and receiving images over SMS (picture messages). It was a standard format in early mobile phones of the late 1990s and 2000s for simple graphics like logos and ringtone icons.
Common uses
- Nokia mobile phone picture message images
- Converting legacy feature phone graphics
- Historical mobile messaging image recovery
- Early mobile logo and icon conversion
About the BZ2 format
BZ2 — Bzip2 Compressed File
BZ2 is a single-file compression format using the bzip2 algorithm (Burrows-Wheeler transform + Huffman coding). It consistently achieves 10-15% better compression ratios than gzip for text and source code, making it preferred for bandwidth-sensitive distributions. Like gzip, it compresses only a single file — directories must be bundled with TAR first.
Common uses
- Compressing large text files and source code archives
- Linux package distribution (.deb source packages)
- Scientific data compression
- Bandwidth-sensitive file distribution
