    I'm just wondering how come you all have negative feedbacks aBOUT this phone??? All I can say is, if you want the style of this phone, go buy it!!! Besides, this phone is really a fashion phone... btw, mine does not freezes, all you have to do is have it upgraded at any nokia center to upgrade the version and viola!!!! it will never freeze again...

        This thing is a expensive toy, useless, diling is a bad joke! To watch this small screen you need a micoskop.

          Are you serious? 60 hours maxx? Shoot....how can their estimated battery life be so off?? Also...the mirror on the front...does it make it look like a ladies phone or does it look 'okay' for guys as well?

            It has voice recognition, but not individual numbers, just the usual tagging to a stored entry.

            Battery life is rubbish...getting no more than 50-60 hours continuous standby with mimimal use. We've exchanged 3 times but they're all the same.

                  In iTunes, use the option to 'convert selection to AAC'. The resulting file has an end tag of .m4a, which should be transferred to the phone.

                  There may be other types suitable for the nokia but this was the easiest for me.

                    If you have successfully transferred the file to the phone (the Tones folder would be logical choice), then it will appear in the list when you browse the folder. Play it first to check that the phone can play the file.
                    Then follow the process to set it as your ringtone, either via Profiles or Settings.

                      Phil - Thanks for the info on how to set MP3s as ringtones, i have converted them to M4A and sent to phone via bluetooth but still no luck. Any further advice you can give would be much appreciated. Thanks Tullulah

                        tullulah - you cannot set mp3 files as ringtones. The way I managed to do it was by using iTunes and converting mp3 to the m4a format. Then transferring to phone via bluetooth. The phone only allows DRM protected music files to be set as ringtones.

                          Surely 7280 is a real nice mobile. I bought it purely for the contrast look - it really surges out of all the rests. BUT PITY, VERY PITY,as I may put it, my 7280 freezed as others!! - all you have to do is to "RETURN" it to "update" software in the machine. But why on earth does NOKIA not upgraded software in the phones before selling them? Why selling them faulty and make a mark on the nice Brand "Nokia"? Quite disgusted to have to make trip to Nokia shop and waited for 3 days for this.

                                I love my 7280. The screen has froze a couple of times but nothing major. Once you get used to it txting is easy and so is number entry. But the best thing about this phone is that i havent seen anyone else with it yet and i love answering the phone in public as everyone is curious as to what it actually is. Just one thing how do you set downloaded MP3s to ringtone, they just go to gallery and there is no option to set as ring tone. Please HELP

                                    This is supposed to be my back up phone for my p910 but I have used it EXTENSIVELY. It is a well thought out phone that an INTELLIGENT person can appreciate, its not just a gimick phone. Truly a great all around phone that has an awesome 'Predict a text' for when you send out MMS/SMS messages. 100% happy.
