its weird that u cant use normal mp3s as tones. z800i is supposed to be the fully unlocked retail unit, unless yours is the v800

probably u can try flash ur phone's firmware to the latest one.

    Hi guys.I'm considering to buy this phone,but I'm only like 60% sure. Main deterrent is the price..So anybody with experience using this phone, can you help me find another 40% confidence?I've gone numerous reviews of this phone,and some points that caught my attention is the apparent delay of the internal screen when you flip the phone open, hard keypad,and photo quality.

    My main criterias for a new phone among others,it must be a clamshell preferably with external display,has expendable memory,good polyphonic ringtone quality(mp3 optional), and user friendly interface. So should I get this or other phone?

      Nice phone to use, bluetooth works well. Only disapointment is that whilst you can use MP3s as ringtones, that is ONLY if they are "DRM" tones - i.e. downloaded from a suitable site - you cannot make yr own from your cd (which I could on my Sharp GX30i). If anyone knows how to get round this, please tell me.

                  Hi,I'm thinking of buying this phone,but i saw several reviews saying there's a lag time on the internal display when you open the phone.in other words,it takes a while for the screen to respond after you flip it open.is it true?

                                i paid 240euros for my phone on the grey market brand new.. in stores is like.. 50-75% more expensive.. cant afford to drop that much cash on it.

                                my phones films as much as posible.is weird that some ppl have a 7sec limit. the phone came with the latest firmware. maybe that is the cause

                                    On the verge of buying it, so don't really know what it is like.

                                    Kind of like the pics of what I saw. But I hope the issues raised on the Java, Video duration, Txts and others are not too much of negatives for it?

                                    Currently using a Z600, so I hope this will out perform it. My Z600 has done remarkably well.

                                      bill: check if you have any app like a game or something closed in the background and switch to another phone profile and see if it still happens.

                                        i have 2question, hope someone can help me, if i using window ME or 98, how to use USB? because XP can show the memory stick as a removable disc but ME and 98 can't.
                                        Then the video recorder only can record 8sec????
