Just came across the most simple way of getting ringers you could over think of.

As most of you know the sprint website offers the ability to test ringers before you buy them on your phone. Well if you test it you will notice that the song will play in a separate window for windows media player. you can save the song to your computer and it saves its as an MP3. I used itunes from apple that came with the free quicktime. Open itunes and drag the saved MP3 into the itunes maker and right click the song and convert to AAC and DONE. Now just drag the AAC version of the song back to your desktop and upload to phone. New ring just the way you like. Takes itune less then 10 seconds to get the file, convert, and drag back out.

I have a few questions before I drop the full price since Sprint wont give me the rebates. 😈

1. I heard about two colors, blue and silver. Or, is it really just both blue AND silver?

2. Does it support OTA updating? I heard there is another firmware in the works.

Thanks,

Yep, got the phone. You may be asking “why would you b!tch and moan about the phone, then go and buy it?!?”

Well, because I’m have tons of $$ and I like to toss it around. I’ll enjoy this over-priced phone with so many gadgets I probably won’t even bother using them. Actually, this is just to tide me over till the Samsung A800 makes it’s way here.

So, needless to say, the phone is most definitely NOT living up to it’s hype……..well, YOUR hype that is.

It definitely lived up to MY hype…that it’s over-priced and under-performs.

Later cheeseheads!

i spoke to different sprint reps today and they said it should be at every sprint by this morning and best buy tomorrow. So i called three local stores and they have it but in small quantities so Good luck. 🙂

This kind of practice is too technologically involved for most people, fortunately.

The ringtone business is an important part of the growing mobile economy.

Let's not mess it up too badly.

my flash blinks when i talk on my phone...is there a way to shut this feature off? please help. thanks.

I am sorry if this question seems totally simple, but I can't for the life of me figure out a few things about transferring files to/from the phone.

I have a mac, and when i do the mass storage function on the phone it shows up as a read only device, is this normal? Do you need to use a card reader instead, or is there a setting to change?

Also, when i place pictures/ringers onto the memory card, what folder do they go into? The 100sanyo folder is where I tried. I can't get the ringers to be recognized when I used my digital camera as a go-between to get the files onto the card finally (not a permanent situation I hope)

.

I need some quick help from whoever wants to provide it. I have a sanyo vm4500 and i want to get the sanyo mm-5600. Although the price is $429.99, i still want to get it. The plan that i have is a family plan with 4 phones. If i change the plan to the fair and flexible plan, will i need to sign a new contract? If I change the plan, then i can add a new line of service for $10 and i could get the $150 rebate for the sanyo mm-5600 and i can give the sanyo vm4500 to sprint for $50. The sanyo mm-5600's price will be reduced to $229.99. Thanks in advance to whoever provides me info.

Bought a USB card reader, moved .mp3 files to miniSD, put that in the phone, and now what? How do I play them? Under miniSD Folders all I find is Picture, Video, Voice, and Media and all are empty. Where did I put the .mp3 files?

I just want to know what makes this phone stand out from the other phones out there and is it really worth the hype.

Please forgive my noobiness and ignorance, but... can anyone tell me how to download mp3s from my PC to my phone?

MM-5600 will take any size minisd card. 1GB or whatever exists.

I want to be able to program my friends voice and when they call me it will say "call from X".

X = The actual voice of the person that you program.

where is the cheapest place to get a bigger mini SD card? Thanks a million!

regarding sounds. how do i hide the "shutter" sound when i take a picture and the "beeping" noice when i activate my camcorder?? A little help please...

All...I spend 6000-8000 minutes a month on the phone (I'm in sales) and currently own the LG PM325. Signal strength sucks....for those of you WHO HAVE OWNED THE 5600 FOR A WHILE NOW...please respond with your feelings about the signal strength? Does it live up to the Sanyo name?

Now when you check the sanyo website it doesn't say available soon, it says check your local sprint store or retailer for demostration so that mean it should arrive in stores this week. Good luck! 🙂

is best buy gonna havew this phone or what?? i hope it will be here soon?
