Motorola V710
Question re: MP3 Ringtones
Guitar-man - please don't respond. I am looking for helpful information not a flame war.
So, I have the phone. I have the old version of the firmware... so the transflash method would work. I may need to upgrade to the new version of the firmware to make bluetooth work right with my car (one hand giveth and the other hand.....).
Somewhere (don't know if it was here or elsewhere), I saw someone claim that they could email themselves the MP3 file to the phone and install it that way - without the whole transflash purchase and dance.
Anyone know how to do this? I don't need to put in new ringtones twice a day - just a couple now and then....

Apparently after you receive the new flash from Verizon you can reenable the transflash transfer by changing a seem. I saw it mentioned here earlier and here is a link to seem editing 101:

you can send a pix message to phone from your emailto address
xxxxxxxxxx(i.e.your phone#)@vzwpix.com and attach a ringtone. then upon openeing pix message on phone.....click menu and save item and your ringtone should be shown for you to save. this does cost $.25 as a pix message, but it is a way. make sure file extension is .mid on the end of the filename before you attach and that it is under 200kb. i tried larger one and it would never download.
