    Yes it has USB port (same as power port) - got my USB lead from greymobiles on ebay complete with software. Yes it will let you have mp3 as ringtone. Only thing I have found is I managed to get hold of a blue phone off ebay but it does not have the Womens Life features on it - have mailed samsung to ask if that app only comes in pink - guess it does as the manual does not include it as a feature. Picture quality outdoors is pretty good for 1MP - like the borders you can put on too! Hope this helps!

                Hi, I got this phone yes2day and have read your commments about getting a ''dongle'' to download mp3's. What would anyone recommend: The dongle or a data cable?
                Also, I am on contract with this phone and was wondering, is there any way you can check how many free txts and messages you have left?
                Thanks for your help.

                    Terri ... I bought a ' dongle' from ebay and it works well.. Just put dongle into the ebay search and also the samsung e530 and it should find some for you if they are avaliable. I paid just over £8 i think and that included delivery. I have downloaded everything using this. Mp3s straight from Kazaa and also pics from web pages . All you do is save anything you want into a shared file in the bluetooth dongle....

                      hi there,
                      i have read through some of the comments and have a few questions myself.. but first let me say that although i am still getting to grips with some of the features.. i love this phone.
                      ok.. just wondering how you send pics and things to email... says i have to set up account???

                      also someone (i think called catmeow) said they had bought a bluetooth thing from ebay...making transfer of mp3's etc easier... anyone recommend one that is not that expensive?
                      many thanks peeps

                          Mindy, you can apparently bring back the external clock display by pressing the volume decrease key; you can also recall the Missed Calls screen on the external display in this fashion. This should hold true for the newer Samsung clamshell phones too. Maybe someone can try it to see if this works?

                                To Adiana: i have the same issue. this is because you have the samsung e530C model phone which doesn't supply the extra 'women' features.

                                    Hi . The peeps who are asking if the clock can be made to stay on the front , the answer is absolutely NO . I have written to Samsung asking about this myself and the answer i got was that it isnt a feature of the phone . When i told them they were guilty of false advertising ( as every pic of the phone i saw showed the clock on the front !) they told me that because it is not listed in the manual they are not guilty of false advertisin , pfffft ! I have to say one the deciding facts in buying this phone was the clock , so now im miffed ! So .. send a letter to samsung , ask them about the clock , hound them ! tell them they are falsly advertising it !
