As I mentioned, I don't have memory card yet but here is some info that I found on the other board. Maybe somebody with a card can try this to see if it works:biggrin:

==============================================
By the way, here is some info about ringtones, mp3 and BitPim.
You need BitPim, mini SD card (flash card), cable. No seem edits. Keep the phone as it is.
-------------------------------
First prepare the flash card. Format it on PC using FAT32. Shut off the phone. Insert the card. Start the phone. Probably you can format the card by the phone, but I just trying to share how I did it. So, it is up to you to check different way.
-------------------------------
Playing mp3.
Rename your *.mp3 files to *.mid.
Put them to the root directory of the TF card.
You can do it directly on PC or by BitPim via cable.
Reboot the phone, you can play now all those files. To keep the mp3 files here is a wasting the time and pace. You can play them only one by one. You can not use player. So, this is good only as the first step to add ringtones. To listen them all, synchronize you phone.
-------------------------------
Adding ringtones.
Move mp3 ringtones renamed to mid from the root directory of the TF to the phone:
Get It Now -> Get Tunes & Tones (All of the available files appear on the bottom).
All preloaded ringtones have 2 Options:
1. Set as ringtone.
2. Set As Ringer ID.
There are no options to move or delete.
All added files will be marked by C (CARD).
For them you have only 2 following options:
1. Rename.
2. Move.
Select needed file -> Options -> Move. It will ask you to move audio to the phone. Select YES.
You can move as many files as you want.
When you are done, using BitPim go to the root directory of the phone and deletes 2 files: TmpTneDB.db and MyToneDB.db.
Reboot the phone (by BitPim if you want to). Now all of your ringtones are ready.
All audio file phone keeps in Motorola/Shared/Audio folder. Only the phone has access to that folder. By BitPim you can only read/save the files. When you try to add or overwrite existing files, BitPim shows the message similar to “This folder is locked by manufacture”.

Thanks!! This seems to work perfectly, although I have one question, if anyone has done this, do you have to delete BOTH TmpTneDB.db and MyToneDB.db ??
It seems that after I load up ring tones and do this, all of the ringer ID;s I set seem to not be remembered. Would it still work if I only deleted teh Tmp and not the My Tone?? Any insight into this problem would be appreciated

I think you do in order to get the ringtones to show up in the ringtone list. About the only other thing you could try is to upload the ring tone without deleting those files. It will not show up as a ringtone, but if you got to Media it should be there. Then using the menu on the phone you can select "set as ringtone" which will set it as your current ringtone. Then go back to ringtones and it might now be listed as one of the ringtones you can select, or de-select. They keyword being "might" as doing it that way does not always work.
