this phone can play mp3 as ringtones but only if the mp3 is stored on the phone and not the card(copy the song from card to phone) also the song has to be of a smaller size to be able to fit it onto the phone. mp3 im using is only 944kb so it does fine. maybe use sum software on a pc to get a portion of a song that u want to use.

The correct way to set up bluetooth usb dongle in Windows XP and sharp 550sh handset manager is as follows:

uninstall any sharp and bluetooth software (windows installer cleanup utility can be used to blast any reluctant software from the registry but you have to clean up the directories afterwards)
remove all folders called btw, WIDCOMM or sharp
install your bluetooth dongle software with the cd which came with the dongle

reboot

plug in your usb bluetooth dongle - various devices are set up

check that you have an incoming and an outgoing serial port and a bluetooth modem (hardware manager - view - show hidden devices)
just to be sure, delete the incoming serial port and create a new one (usually in "local services) tab of the broadcomm/widcomm set up)

if you do not have a bluetooth modem, install one using manual driver install
It can be found in the folder
"program files/WIDCOMM7Bluetoothsoftware/bin"

assign the serial port of the bluetooth modem to the new incoming serial port you have created as above and set it to the highest speed (control panel, telephone and modem options or similar)

start the phone's bluetooth and set the phone to be visible

pair the phone to the pc from the PC - using the broadcomm/widcomm option "add bluetooth devices"

Install sharp 550sh Handset Manager software (can be downloaded from the website)

reboot

return the phone to the default startup screen

open "handset manager" and set the interface to the one used by the bluetooth modem.

the pc should show icon activity and "pc connection" almost immediately

No good the bluetooth dongle only works very occasionally with handset manager.

Similar problems are reported with the handset manager of the 770sh...

has anybody found a solution to this?

bluetooth works with the bluetooth pc dongle (USB) when you click on "interface properties" upon which it sets up the missing phone-pc network connection on a virtual com port which is not visible in device manager, even if you enable "view missing /hidden devices"
you should still up the connection speed on the virtual port to the maximum you see.

using a (widcomm) bluetooth dongle! (German language version) and handset manager/USB i only get problems (winXP sp2 patched)

Handset manager never connects to the phone although the PC and phone recognise one another easily and can be "paired"

you can send however photos and other items from the Phone to PC by simple phone commands - the dongle recognises a "PIM" connection and the fiels go to the "bluetooth exchange folder".

The PC with the dongle and bluetooth neighbourhood shows that "serial" interfaces are present - com6 - active-sync, com7 - serial services - BUT handset manager never connects no matter which com port you choose

You can set up "hands-free" and presumably use the PC speaker and microphone for the phone (over the bluetooth widcomm software)

Well phone cons:
1. cant play mp3 to incoming calls, 2. cant get larger files than 5 mb via bluetooth with or without memory card, 3. cant load games via usb or bluetooth, only pay wap, 4. cant autosave to memory card. 5. cant play large video files. 6. bad menu navigation etc. conclusion just garbage phone.
