Ah right. I thought it might just be a simple option> select as ringtone
LIKE IT WAS ON MY OTHER PHONE
I'll probably hack it up in Camtasia 5 and do it that way.

There is an easier way if you aren't in the UK.
Unfortunately our licencing laws or something mean that Apple have disabled it

Our licensing laws also mean we cant steal music or download films for free...
Ho hum. . . and anyway its my fucking tune so I can do what I want with it SOOO spill the beans matey
Just a little heads up; 40sec seems to be the maximum length you can convert to .m4r and it'll sync.
Luckily for me it's enough for XX Teens: Reprise, off Welcome to Goon Island
(if I chop off 3sec of the fade).

Ok so you can't send picture texts or easilly set a tune as a ringtone. You have to use a computer running something else.
So cmon on then what's it's special skill cos my last phone could do picture messages set tunes as ringtones and it would play mp3 + vid files
In fact so far I ain't found anything that my old phone didn't do or in fact do just that oil bit better
Sorry...I just need a bit of convincing about it being the best phone ever. It all feels a bit emporers new clothes to me

I think you miss the point.
My old SE K800i has a feature list that batters my iPhone. If you are happy working out and fiddling about pressing endless button and joystick sequences delving through sub menu after sub menu then its probably not the phone for you. You might have been better served with a Sony Erisson X1 or HTC Touch HD.
What the iPhone does brilliantly, the functionality it does have is deceptively simple to get to work for you. Requiring very minimal interaction to do complex tasks.
Its also an iPod, which is why I bought it.

I think the point is that its a fashion accessory.
Its been kept simple so that posh spice can use it. Its all marketing and product placement.
IMO 2 weeks down the road I dont think it does anything brilliantly, and if I wasn't given it by work I'd have happilly carried on with me old Xda.
I just dont know...
Unless you need an ipod, I dont think there is a reason to have this phone.
ALthough I have got a lightsabre thing on it which is REALLLLLYYY COOOOOL
swishswoooooooo

Fashion accessory, hardly, its not the greatest phone, I knew that when I got it, but then its not just a phone is it?
Its got :-
The 1st genuinely useable mobile web browser
Google Maps with GPS and phone integration
an iPod
Plus the organiser elements.
And seamless transition between Wifi/3G/Edge/GPRS.

your first sentance to me sums it up as a fashion accessory. Its function is a phone and in your own words its not the greatest. So I'd go with it's designs is to look good rather than function in its primary role.
The 1st genuinely useable mobile browser I dont think is true. I've been doing it with a windows mobile for years. Clunky but useable
I did have co-pilot on mine as a GPS which worked rather nicely even in Boston.
And ipod. . . well others use mp3 players so "meh"
And the organiser elements well I never found anything I couldnt do in windows mobile again
So sorry, I'm unconvinced and unimpressed.
To me its that gorgeous girl you just met, sexy, legs that go on forever, well dressed, perfect hair and your eyes just pop out of your head...
then you find out she cant hold a conversation past the point of "dunnno"
abd giggling.
Looks good on yer arm but it aint even gonna be moving in

This is my last word, if you don't like it then you dont like it.
See you have missed the point. The new feature that seems to have escaped you is usability.
With regard to web browsing, I said genuinely usable. The IE that comes with WM is shit, but if you think its fine, then you will put up with any old shit pushed your way, corporations love people like you. I on the other hand cannot be bothered with 'clunky'. You'll be telling me that Motorola make great phones next.
You also miss understand me when I said 'not a great phone'. What I meant in that context is that its not as fully featured as other phones. It still allows me to make and receive calls pretty well. Changing my ring tone to my own tune and sending MMS's is more a fashion phone thing. I've never felt the need.
For me, and remember that I like my gadgets to work and work flawlessly, this is the greatest phone I have ever used. I would never go back to phones with buttons, T9 and a joystick, illogical and deep submenus etc. Shit. Look at that Sony X1, its got more features than you can shake a stick at. Its got WM6 which is bafflingly bad, super busy screens and clickable things so small you need a stylus. I lose them, I'm not in any general danger of losing my finger.
Another example is my previous phone, the K800i. Its does all the same things but does them so badly (apart from the camera which was great) never got used. There for the marketing department and not for the general public to actually USE, god forbid.
Eh
I've got 3 mates on T-Mobile, half the time they can't even make or answer calls. I wouldn't buy anything on their network - not in Bristol, anyway.
Besides, it doesn't take much to find people saying that you might be better off waiting for the G2. Not buying 1st gen tech, n'all that...

There's a dedicated pdf reader on the way soon apparently...
I guess it's a location thing - it's spot on here in Birmingham
I wasn't entirely convinced myself, but they offered me the phone for free, so I figured I had nowt to lose by giving it a go. It's pretty similar to the first generation iPhone, in that it has a couple of faults that really should have been sorted at launch, but on the whole is pretty slick, and an indication of where the future lies for phones
