Hi,

You can convert the MP3 song of around 3.5 Mb to 1.5 mb size and then you can trasfer that song to eighter phone or to memory directly ... But i frefer to cut the main part of Mp3 which is good to use as mp3 .. of around 250 Kb and put that in phone ..
If you are looking for the software as well as the mp3 ringtone file you can join my group at

Thanks

You guys mentioned that you have to edit the mp3 song before you can transfer to your phone (to use it as a ringtone). How do you 'reduce its bitrate or edit the song?
Can I transfer 'move' one song to the phone? Is there enough memory to support 1 song? Thanks for your help!

veejay, i dont notice any texting lag with my 96r. what about you regi?

by and large, i am happy with this phone for its features and value for money. an outstanding feature apart from its exceptional MP3 is its screen quality. all other phone screens i've seen would seem miserably washed out when placed side by side with the e398. this includes the expensive SE p900 and N6600!

be very careful when you charge this unit with the supplied charger since a lose connection can easily occur when the plug attached to the unit is moved. the service fellow told me that something within the phone easily bends and results to non charging.

96R is available in the Philippines but only thru Authorized Motorola Service Centers.

95R is available on the net.

My flex version is still original as when I bought it - GSKE398T672EB061

There are flexes out but again check www.howardforums.com to know more. I suggest you try to learn everything first before trying to flex/flash your phone. It will void any warranty. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I would flash and flex this phone. But I can't, unless I get a PC. Since it cannot be rushed. People, to upload games to ur phone without flashing, join zedge.no and upload your jar, then login via wap and put into phone.

to veejay:

96R makes everything faster and better. Again check out www.howardforums.com and just search through it. It has the answers to most questions. Available over the internet is 95R, which is also very good..

Regi: I bought mine in Dubai and the S/W version is 59R. Texting is very annoying; there is a lag time of 2 seconds b4 u can proceed to the next letter on the same key. Is texting now faster in the 96R S/W version?
