 '''EPOC MBM''' (also known as '''MBM''', '''Psion Series 5 bitmap''', or '''Symbian Multibitmap''') is a raster image file format associated with Psion's EPOC operating system, and its successor, Symbian (most notably used by Nokia phones). An MBM file can contain multiple images.
-Images may be grayscale, or palette color using a predefined palette. They may be uncompressed, or [[Run-length encoding|RLE-compressed]].
