Background (SKIP this if you want)
I am a do it yourself kind of person and a miser. When I got my phone a Motorola V550 bought (I think) I was assured that I songs to your phone could upload and download photos from my phone to my PC. The person in the store couldn't tell me how to do it but "the tech service people would know how". I spent hours on the phone with Cingular and Motorola and finally was able to send photos from the phone to my PC via emails. Everyone was talking I kept trying to get me to sell a deal surfing on the Internet. Moreover, when you pick up your phone this feature is not enabled. you don't have to sign up for a monthly plan but the phone must be turned on. I suspect that Cingular is doing this on purpose so that they can sell additional services. The only way to ringtones to be had to buy them. I paid every three or four bucks for a pair of ringtones I didn't particularly.I went along this road for about a year I bought a wire connection of USB dongle? thingy or what ever the Cingular store and still had no luck.
I was at a 4th of July get together and different people had several MP3s as ringtones on their phones. We were able to load a few on my phone via Blue tooth surprisingly easy.I asked everyone how they got the originals on their phones and everything I could learn was that "some dude with blue tooth" had some loaded and the songs were passed out from there.
From there I was on a mission. I googled and asked questions about newsgroups in vain.I was a bit surprised that the blue tooth had nothing on this site. Ditto with Motorola and Cingular. since I originally wrote this guide that I switched to an LG, same deal I think it's a secret:)
So I bought a Blue tooth dongle and figured it out myself.The good news is that it is really easy.
This is how I did it with my Motorola phone:
Buying a blue tooth USB Dongle. I paid only ten dollars. Note: Shop around, as far as I a ten dollar dongle works so well as a thirty dollar know. Prices really vary.
My phone has a ton of memory and I don't need a three-minute ringtone so I set my MP3 's to make them shorter edit. MP3 direct cut is a freebie and seems to work OK, Get it at: zdnet dot com
