Theres a zenda.co.uk or zendo.co.uk or something like that, that has free wallpapers and shit for mobiles.
Idiot brother downloads 10 a week for nothing from that site.

Post by **R00k** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 2:29 pm

Couldn't get either of those to work. zendo is a health and beauty products site. :icon8:

no it doesn't. polyphonic, that's it.

Post by **R00k** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 7:52 pm

Well, maybe they're not mp3's then. But they are true song recordings, not the multi-chord polyphonics.

Where did you find out what it supports? It's not on Sanyo's or Sprint's websites as far as I could find.

Post by **+JuggerNaut+** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 8:00 pm

i just checked some review sites. they all say it only supports 32chord polyphonics.

Post by **R00k** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 8:10 pm

I'm playing Homer Simpson and Dave Chapelle quotes on it now, and Maroon 5 and the Roots songs as actual ring tones.
I'm not sure exactly what file type or encoding they are, but they're actual recordings.

Post by **+JuggerNaut+** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 8:40 pm

oh, i believe that they're actual recordings, but you most likely can't download the same format. retarded? yes.

my brother has a similar Samsung phone and while it has real clips of songs that you can use as your default ringtone, you cannot download anything more than polyphonic tunes.

Post by **R00k** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 8:44 pm

No, I downloaded all of them from that site I linked above. http://www.3gforfree.com . The only problem is their selection sucks.

Post by **+JuggerNaut+** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 8:47 pm

so i don't have to register, why don't you download a couple of those files so you can check out the extension.

Post by **R00k** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 9:06 pm

I'm not registered either

ah, so there's no knowing what format it is. that sucks.

Post by **R00k** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 9:25 pm

Yea I tried checking the file properties on my phone, but it just lists version, file size, etc. No type.

either that or i like my phone to sound like a phone.
musical ringtones are just goofy IMO.
but then again, i'm also one of those strange people that only use their cell phone for phone calls. (and the occasional candid photo, since the phone came with a camera)

i'm not sure where people are getting $30 data cables... mine was only ~$8... and you can get free software like bitpim off sourceforge which does all the data transfer stuff no problem.

you forgot :
4. people that realized a mobile is cheaper and more convienent than a hard line.

I got rid of my landline more than a year ago, and have had nothing but a mobile since then. It's a matter of paying $25 for a phone you can only use at your house, or paying another $15 for one you can carry with you and use anywhere. Doesn't seem like much of a choice at all to me.

And I personally like normal ringtones as well, even though I have mine set on vibrate most of the time anyway.

But I just got this badass phone when I changed mobile providers, that is capable of all kinds of shit my old one wasn't, and I'm a geeky gearhead so I just want to play around with all the features that are on it.

I guess I should have just said all that up front.

Post by **Dr_Watson** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 10:49 pm

hah! $25 land line...
in my area $25 barely gets you a dial tone.
bare bones 10c/call local here is ~$35... then add in the insane fee to start service (which is > than the cost of a good cell phone purchace)
then add in a long distance carrier, and start paying out the ears in per-min charges. (if your situation is anything like mine, where my brother, parents, and alot of my friends are long distance)
then add in voicemail, call waiting, and all the other jazz you get for free with a $40 cellphone service package... it quickly becomes retarded to pay for a hard-line.

the only thing i don't like about only having a mobile, is i'd like to figure out a way to hook my fax machine to it.

Post by **R00k** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 11:20 pm

Yea, that and landlines don't have to be charged as much.

no one said anything about a $30 data cable :icon6:

datacable woudl be the best thing to get, espeically if you have a camera phone and you want to transfer the pics to your pc.

Post by **R00k** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 4:01 am

So do you know somewhere I can download free shit to my pc, so I can use this data cable to put it on my phone?

I can already upload my pics to the web straight from my phone, so I'm not worried about transferring them to the pc.
