Try dBpowerAMP. Works well for trimming down the bitrate and making a reasonable file size for the smartphone.

OK, stupid question. If filesize is an issue, and you're using the files as ringtones, why not convert them into WMA format? It takes up way less room and the C500 can happily use them as ringtones.

Apologies if you have a reason for keeping them as WAV's, but thought I'd mention this! :D

You can have better quality with .wma files wich work as ringtone as well ,the quality is great (at CD quality 30-40 sec. will take about 7-800 kb). I use C500 too and .wma files are great as ringtones. U can convert audio files to .wma with a lot of programs (Windows Media Player ,Winamp, etc.). Hope it helps .
