I'd like to know how to set an MP3 or AMR as ringtone for this, only midis have a 'set as ringtone' option and it says it can set MP3's aswell.Battery life is very wierd for my phone,at times it goes for 4-5 daya but sometimes it lasts just 2 days, with 3G off.Anyway no other complaints its a great music player,very nice camera and video recorder.

    Unfortunatly battery life is very poor really... But I found the program that is able to add applycations onto firmware. It's good, simple and spanish.

      This phone when you see those features you think that i the exactly phone you want but is not true because when you use it you see that is the opposite.

          Love the phone, but the battery life is a major disappointment. My previous phones have been able to last at least a week between charges, but this one is flat within 3 days. Not very useful if you are relying on it!

          Does anyone know how to set a recorded sound as the message tone (if this is even possible)?

          Thanks

            Just considering getting this phone on vodafone, does anyone know if there are problems with using mp3s as ringtones as there are with sony phones and vodafone?

              I need to get more memory for my phone, but sandisk doesnt want to sell me more than 256MB for this phone. Can it cope with more? does anyone know?
              Also, when i charge my phone, it switches itself off for no discernable reason. Can anyone explain this for me? many thanks

                  my opinion is, the battery life's well. 3-4 days. it's not bad! two display, cool into display - great! change 3g to 2g: network selection(menu 9.6.3) -> network mode -> GSM 900\1800

                        AAC is the file format used by itunes. It is a higher quality than mp3 but also in most cases a higher size. baisicaly it gives you that extra flexibility if that song you want is not in mp3 format and you are unable to convert it. its not really a noticable difference

                                BT, IR: Menu > Settings > Connectivity

                                3G(UMTS)/2G(GSM): Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Network mode

                                MP3 AS RINGTONE: Menu > Settings > Phone profiles > (choose profile) > Edit > Voice/Video call ringtone > (choose an mp3 or anything else)

                                MESSAGE ALERT: Menu > Settings > Phone profiles > (choose profile) > Edit > Message alert tone > Special tone > Change*
                                *Seems that you can't put an mp3 but you can change the default one, or convert the mp3 you want to set to an mmf or activate some midi)

                                Don't think it's possible to connect the phone to the computer without the installation disk.

                                BLANK PICS: Lock the pictures that you need (you don't need a password), ans thend just use the "delete all" option if the phone takes blank photos. Only the unlocked ones will be deleted.

                                Has anyone resolved the theme problem?

                                    Hi, has anybody ever worked out how to stop the camera from taking photos from inside a pocket? Getting kinda fedup of having to delete lots of blank pictures every day.

                                    Thanks, Lynne

                                      Kinda detest it..
                                      kept on shutting down automatically or restarting.
                                      the worse thing is that I've juz brought it out of service centre.
                                      sucky..
                                      so dun ask me about performance when I cannot even start using the phone
