        heh, well i like it personally. i have an mp3 as a ringtone, message tones are fine, and my battery lasts 3 days with normal usage, since i turned down the screen brightness a few notches (you cant really notice). i've had no problems with it at all, nice phone.

            i'm editing this to clarify, and reposting, since people obviously didnt read it properly. you pay iTunes NOTHING. it's all free.

            how to add mp3s as ringtones:

            1. download iTunes from the internet. THIS IS FREE. you are using iTunes to convert a song ALREADY ON YOUR PC, not buying a new one on iTunes. iTunes only charge for buying tracks from them. you are only using it for converting tracks you already have. okay?!

            2. in iTunes, click 'file' and then select 'add file to library'. find the file on your computer that you want as a ringtune, and click open. it should automatically convert it to AAC, but if it doesn't, then right click and select 'convert to AAC'. you have just added a mp3 already on your computer to the iTunes library.

            some songs are protected and cannot be converted. if this is the case - pick another song!!

            3. once you've done that, using the software that came with the phone, send the song to your phone in the 'MUSIC' folder. i'm not even going to try explaining this part. figure it out. :P

            4. now, on your phone, go to 'file manager'. notice this part. 'file manager' NOT NOT NOT 'settings'. go into 'music'. your song should be there. click 'options', and then scroll down to 'set as' and click. select item 2 'ringtone'. congratulations, it will now play as your ringtone. note - if you try to select your song through 'settings' then it will tell you the file is too large. if you select it through file manager, it automatically only plays the first 20 seconds or so. so pick a song with a good beginning. i hope this answers a few questions.

              you dont pay for iTunes to download it. you only pay if you buy music on it. you can use iTunes to convert files for free. (muppet)

                  i have mp3s on discs so do not have to pay to download them only way i found how to do it is with nero wave editor had to change it to a mp4 and do it through the video and it works but have to be under 300 or so many seconds to fit the file on your phone your phone will not allow it if you want to pay i tunes for 20 secs of music they have a way of doing it think they are in with samsung to make money out of us

                        I know that you can put passwords on messages, file manager, i-mode and the general phone, but is there anyway to put password on just the images or just mp3s? I also have a memory card, is there anyway to put a password on that?

                                Hello people,

                                I really need your help on this one – its been bugging me for a while now!

                                I was playing on my phone the other day and I opened up the music player (I have the ‘up’ arrow set as a shortcut for this). I didn’t mean to open it and so carried on pressing other buttons before it started playing the track.
                                Somehow I managed to minimise the player and was able to carry on typing a message as normal with the track playing in the background. I’ve tried a million and one combinations since to minimise the player, but every time I try, it just closes it completely.

                                Does anyone how to minimise the player, so you can use your phone for other things whilst still listening to music?

                                Many thanks in advance!!!

                                      so why pay for i tunes when you can do it with your own mp3s you do not have to pay for 20 seconds when you have mp3s on discs
