YES. you can use an mp3 saved in your memory card as a ringtone, message tone and alarm tone

just a tip though to set your mp3s in the favorites so that in case the phone restarts the tones are not reset to profile defaults.

    AnonD-2368, 05 Nov 2011hei buddy, what up! Thanks to those infos.. yeah, same ... moreYes Jett I'm from Naga City but I'm here in Manila.

    I'm testing the send later function of the phone. I was surprised to learn that there's no confirmation message that the message was sent as compared to my 1202.

    The message was supposed to be sent 8am that morning but was surprised to know it wasn't perhaps it's my fault or set the wrong date. I'll let you know the results of this test.

    For the memory card I think the difference is the capacity and the read write speed on the SDHC types. On the microsd the maximum capacity is 2GB I think but on the SDHC the minimum capacity is 4GB.

    I was forced to buy a red one because I had the black serviced and I need a phone that time but still the bugs persisted. That's the first time I sent the black 101 for servicing. 2nd try didn't fare well either so I think a software solution might be the answer.

    Yeah I think this one's a best seller I got he red one as the last remaining unit for that store.

            I just bought this phone yesterday in Hong Kong for HKD288 (USD37) as a spare phone after sending my smartphone to service.

            The battery for my Nokia 101 is BL-5C 1020mAh 3.7V 3.8Wh. It's said to have standby time for over 32 days!

            The choice of languages for UI includes English/Traditional Chinese/Simiplified Chinese.

            The dual SIM works great for calls and sms.

            Voice/Ring tone are reasonably loud and clear. Love it.

                    really? the loudspeaker turns on before or after you answer the call? did you check if there's a setting for automatic loudspeaker turn on/off?
                    even the new unit has the same problem. was it the same color? then there must be something wrong with the software.
                    i hope fw update will be released really soon.

                    thanks for your comment..

                      this phone is excellent but the battery BL-5Cb is very sensitive because it is only 700 mah so tips in avoiding restarts avoid draining the battery power because of battery low.. it affects the power of the battery charge it if the battery low warning is in 5th to 6th warning ok... gudluck .. guys God bless..:)

                                  what up! Thanks to those infos..

                                  yeah, same here. looking fw to firmware update. i really hope nokia will take care of the bugs that 101 has now, and release the fw update really soon, better yet update the newly manufactured units.

                                  i was at the mall yesterday, surprisingly 101 is a best seller.. NOKIA, I BELIEVE THAT"S ENOUGH REASON TO NOT LET US DOWN.. i my self am a big fan :D
                                  i just hope i will get a good unit. lol!
                                  don't want hassles at all!
                                  cheers Nokia!!! :)

                                  planning to use a 4gb mc. would you know any difference between SD and SDHC except from memory capacity?
                                  maybe i'll go for sandisk.

                                  about the other bug you said you discovered, can you confirm about it now buddy?
                                  what if it's just to store the message (or another draft folder/outbox) but does not automatically resend the text.?
                                  so the message is ought to be sent manually then later.?

                                  message no. don't matter at all, but it's a plus if they add it.

                                  :)

                                  btw, are you from Bicol?

                                    I use a Kingston 2GB MicroSD (not SDHC) don't have much mp3s.

                                      I'm using a 2GB Kingston MicroSD card.

                                      I haven't tried to put in a 16GB class 4 since I don't have that much mp3s and I want to make use of my extra 2GB memory card.

                                      It's like gambling as to where to get a unit that will not restart.

                                      I already had my 101 sent to Nokia Care twice and the diagnostics came ok. I just can't figure out why it restarts.

                                      One more bug I discovered is that the send later messages wasn't sent at all. will do further testing.

                                      One wish I would like to have is the message number in the Inbox / Sent Items / Drafts Folders.
