        Hi kito, there is no free way to get hotmail on imode just yet, type 'hotmail imode' and your country into google to find out if anyone does it in your country (fee between 2 & 15 euro per month) gmail is free (apart from download cost)

              Yes it is sad iLWZ, this phone has so much more than just m4a (acc). i love the fact you can read your .pdf book on the train, or store a word .doc you need for work, then just BT it to computer (those type of files & excel, ect go into 'other files', press 5 to rotate screen). Its a real pity they have locked the java part (the only way at the moment is to download *.jar with a *.jam in front of it) everyone should email samsung & tell them you want the java unlock code, we should not have to pay for free games. also m.gmail.com is a great way to view your email through imode. This is not just a fancy video ringtone phone.

                  Its sad nobody wants to talk about the phone but instead just keep asking how do i get mp3 ringtones. Anyway Use DBpoweramp(http://www.dbpoweramp.com/) to convert mp3 to aac. Worked fine for me.

                          if you want to put your mp3 to ypur ring : you have to put mp3 format in agp: so before you open your mp3 by the audio editor you select the 20-30 secondes of song( not more) and you save as ...(in format wave or mp3) , after that you change the format in agp with super (logiciel):

                              ok, i was defo gonna to get this phone until i heard about a HSPDA phone,a samsung z560, but i bet the price of z560 will be expensive, at least S500i's feature is more than better for my money,....the more better phones samsung makes, the harder for me t0 get s500i...

                                  Only had the S500i for a short while but I am already quite impressed. Looks and feels just right.
                                  Was a bit worried about comments I had read about not being able to use music downloads etc as ringtones but have managed to crack that one quite easily. I find using a bluetooth dongle attached to your computer by far the easiest way to download music, pictures and even video clips.
                                  As for battery life if you turn down the contrast a few clicks and don't require the memory card in place this can increase battery time quite considerably. With normal everyday useage I can go 3 days without having to recharge.
                                  Finally having previously had numerous Nokias and Samsungs I would say without doubt this is by far the best by a long way and anyone considering buying should go for it.

                                      Hi,
                                      I have this phone and had the same problem. The solution is easy, make sure all you MP3's are on you PC in you music file, download from the internet, itunes, the program once installed and running will automatically import all your music, you can then go down the list and choose which song you want, right click and choose convert selection to AAC, the program will then make a copy of the MP3 in M4a format, you can then transfer the tune to you phone's music folder and use it as a ringtone.
                                      It's really easy honest. Hope this is of some help.
