imei check is where you need to go. may cost £20 but then you get it unlocked straight away ;)

as for mp3 you will have to look in the device specific section. I'll have a look in a minute. :)

Downloading and installing sounds 

By Gears

Windows Mobile 2003 allows you to use WAV sound files or WMA files as ringtones. This means you can trawl the entire internet for a WAV file, then simply drop your phone into the cradle and copy it across. Heck, you can even download WAV files from here at CoolSmartPhone.com !

To install, just sync your phone, then go to "My Computer->Mobile Device->My Smartphone" - you should see this..

Go to .............. \Storage\Application Data\Sounds

If you don't have that, it may read "\IPSM\Application Data\Sounds"

Either way, if the "Sounds" doesn't exist - create it.

2) Copy the WAV / midi file over to this directory.

3) Now on your SmartPhone, go ...

Programs->Settings->Sounds

..and you should be able to select the file from there!

NOTE - With Windows Mobile 2003 SE (Orange SPV C500 and above), you'll be able to copy music files to the "Storage\My Documents" folder. This is fine, and will work just the same as the instructions above! :)

UPDATE - With some newer models, and following the update to the C500 you can now copy sounds to your storage card and use MP3s as ringtones. To do this, copy sounds to...

\Storage Card\My Documents

...and they should then appear in your "Sounds" option on your phone. MP3's can be played as a ringtone if you've got Media Player 10

borrowed this from coolsmartphone

cheers gears
