2/21    How to send personalized ringtone to Nokia GSM phone like 8390?
        What ringtone format does 8390 accept?
        \_ I think it's still a monophonic phone, just get Nokia Logomanager
           crack it, and beam converted MIDI files via the IrDA port.
        \_ Just FYI, in case this was accidental, correct English would be
           "How would I send a personalized ringtone..."
           \_ Racist!
                \_ Yup.  I hate whites, blacks, jews, austrailian aborigines,
                     Just FYI, in case this was accidental, _/
                     it's spelled "Australian."
                     \_ he(she) particulary hates all people that correct
                        him(her).
                   japanese and chinese and all related asians, American and
                   Indian Indians, Eskimos, and, by God, pretty much every
                   creature that goes on two legs except birds.  I also hate
                   Catholics, Muslims, Protestants, athiests, agnostics,
                   animists, Buddhists, and pretty much every person with
                   any religious pretentions whatever.  And in particular,
                   I hate you.
                   \_ Racist!
                        \_ Yep poster is bigotted KKK
        \_ That's something I'd like to figure out, too.  Certainly one
           thing that didn't work was the old Nokia format (messages that
           started with //SCKL...). -geordan
        \_ dial 1800 NERDS R US
        \_ All you fucking idiots with your stupid ring tones need to die.
           One of the most annoying things about public transit is the endless
           crap noise cluttering the air from every asshole who thinks he's
           got such a kewl ringt0ne that we all need to hear it on high for
           the entire 90 second play time.  Death to ringtone idiots!
                \_ Ditto.  And turn the fuckin things off in restaurants,
                   or learn not to chatter on them.  And at least please
                   keep your voice down in public.  I know the US has crappy
                   mobile networks, but that doesn't mean you have to scream
                   for 10 minutes.  -John
        \_ If you have a Nokia, select "quiet" ring - you know the one that
           sounds like a normal phone. Please.  Do it for the children.
           It's not good to expose the children to visceral manslaughter.
        \_ No why can't the Mossad do something useful and kill non-standard
           ringtone users?
           \_ I think they have been but there's only just so much even Mossad
              can do.
              \_ a gift to you from the Mossad: a brand new Nokia 8390!
                 \_ "Hello, is dis Ali al-Akhbar?"  "Yes, hello"  "Are you
                     sure dis is Ali al-Akhbar?"  "Yes, it is."  "Are you
                     really really sure?"  "YES WHY?"  *BOOM*
                 \_ Is it the new exploding model?

6/3     Any phone geeks on here?  I want to get a new smartphone, preferably
        with wifi, touchscreen, and 3.5mm headphone jack.  I don't plan to pay
        the monthly $$ for a data plan though, since wifi is good enough for
        me.  That rules out the iPhone due to AT&T's policies.
        Maybe I should get some sort of Nokia N-series.

10/26   I'd like to buy a Nokia 6301 (only available in europe), to use with
        my T-Mobile HotSpot@home. It uses GSM (and WiFi). Will it work with
        the US GSM frequencies, and is there a way I order one from europe?

6/29    For every single iPhone sold, Nokia/Motorola/LG/whoever
        will sell 1000 or so phones.  Why aren't they worth a gajillion
        dollars?

8/15    Other than Nokia 8801 (a bit pricey at $650) are there any other
        cell phone *currently* on the market with a steel shell? My old
        Motorola is steel and I don't want to replace it with plastic
        crap. I need a GSM phone. Thanks!

12/20   I have a Nokia 3220 (the one with rubber lights on the side).
        Since it doesn't have Bluetooth built in, I bought the AD-5B
        Bluetooth adapter which on the web site says is compatible
        with 3220. I also bought a Bluetooth headset. Here is my
        problem, after plugging in my AD-5B into the 3220, I pressed
        the control key and the Bluetooth headset sync button, but

9/12    I'm going to be in Spain and Morocco and I'm considering
        getting a GSM phone to use while I'm there.  I've heard
        it's best to buy the phone in the US and then get a sim
        card for the phone there (or maybe off of ebay while still
        here).  So, can I just get any GSM phone (assuming it uses
        the same frequencies as they use in Europe), or are some

4/24    I have a Nokia 5190 with a SIM. Replacement battery will run me
        $25. Can I simply transfer my SIM to a new GSM phone?
        \_ If it's issued from the same network provider, then yes.
           When they subsidize the phone, they lock the phone down
           to one provider. You can unlock it but it will usually
           cost you about $25. The nice thing about unlocking it

12/13   Motorola V220 vs. Nokia 3120 ... any recommedations?
        \_ Nokia over Motorola any day. Motorola crashes a lot (software)
           and the GUI is very clumsy (need to press a lot of buttons to
           get something done).
        \_ If you intend to use bluetooth on the thing, do some research.
           Several Nokia models (6310 among them) have ass-quality bluetooth.
