How to get ringtones to work
Sorry for the double post. I posted this under my last re:Update #2, but some people may not find it there, so I wanted to post it here so it was more find-able.
Ok, the ringtone portion is a little less clear cut. Here is what you have to do:
1] Connect your phone to your PC.
2] When the ActiveSync window pops up and finishes synchronizing your phone with Outlook, press the Explore button in the button bar on the ActiveSync window (between the Details button and the Options button). This will open up a standard File Explorer window pointed at your cell phone (as opposed to a drive letter or directory like usual).
3] Double-click on My Smartphone.
4] Double-click on Storage (not Storage Card).
5] Double-click on Application Data.
6] Double-click on Sounds.
You are now in the folder where you can put ringtones. Anything you drop in here can be used as a ringtone.
If you have the songs on your PC, just open your My Documents folder, then My Music, then you can find the song you want and just drag it into the Sounds folder on your phone. Once that is done, you can go back to your sound settings (Start|9|1|2) and select your ringtones. Along with everything else on the list, your new songs that you just copied will be there.
