lol thats lame i dont wanna do that

i know that for the razor you can transfer songs to your phone by using a usb cable and a program. the sidekick probably has something like this. you could then make your own ringtones using a audio editing program

unless you have a PDA phone with windows mobile(which the sidekick doesnt) you pretty much have to buy the ringtones. On some phones there are ways around it like programs that convert mp3's to .midi files, but this is only with certain phones. Look on amazon.com or go to bestbuy and see if you can find some "ringtone maker" software cheap that will work with the s3

I don't know if the sidekick plays mp3s, but if it does, you can used some software called audacity that lets you cut out clips of songs, and then send them to your phone.

I have an mp3 phone with Bluetooth, and my computer is Bluetooth, so I just cut a clip that I like then send it via Bluetooth to the phone, it is great! I can change my ring tone everyday if I want to.

its not possible with the sidekick. you cant even bluetooth ringtones to it. theres no way around it. just cough up the $2 and download it from your phone or t-mobile.com

Actually there are some phones which can be put MP3 as ringtone through your SD memory card or such memory card or system's memory through USB. Though the MP3 you have might be long so the ringtone only plays at curtain length. I don't know if Sidekick3 has that feature. But I believe most phones with SD card have that. I dunno Mess around with the MP3 in your memory card to set it as your ringtone.

JeShUa · 04-06-2007, 02:25 PM

Are you Technologically challeneged? Do a search for the sound files that appear on your ringtones list. Then paste your edited ringtone files into that folder.

projectprelude · 04-06-2007, 03:09 PM

i might try later...im lazy right now..

vtmn215 · 04-06-2007, 06:08 PM

To make your own ringtones to work on new tmobile phones (I only work with Tmobile phones but im sure that cingular does the same shady work) You have to add drm to the file that you want to be a ringtone unless you get an unbranded handset. to add drm to a file to make it a ringtone, get an mp3-3gp converter (google it). Convert your mp3s to 3gp. load them onto the corresponding folder and yer dun@

i got the sidekick three when it first came out (upgraded from the sidekick 2) and i sent it back within a week for a regular phone.. my sidekick 2 was broken and i was souped about the sidekick 3.. only to be disappointed.. the sidekick three in my opinion is terrible, the buttons the battery life everything. if my sidekick 2 wasn't broken i would still be using it.. i researched as much as i could about making a mp3 a ringer for the sidekick 3, won't happen... i'm just waiting to see what the future brings.. i heard some buzz about the next generation sidekick (whenever that may be) that it might have a wi-fi capability that would be pretty SA-Weet!!! i'm done rambling...
