Abstract
A configuration display may be used to configure and customize a mobile device. The configuration display may comprise a NFC device or other technologies to associate a string with some or all of the configuration display. The configuration display may further comprise an image associated with a configuration and/or customization option relative to a mobile device. The image may be associated with the string at a server. The mobile device obtains the string and transmits it to the server. The server obtains the associated configuration and/or customization and transmits the configuration and/or customization to the mobile device. The configuration display may be updated.
