I just got my K300i and am dead impressed. However I'm distinctly unimpressed that I can't use the pre-loaded mp3 files as ringtones (admittedly they are mostly rubbish, with the exception of the 2 that I'd like to use just for novelty value). It just tells me that they can't be used. I can play them but not set them for ringtones. The manual says that the only reason that happens is when using voice activation, which I'm not. I've even toggled it on and off again to see if that makes a difference. Any ideas greatly appreciated so that I can fully enjoy this great bit of kit!

TIA

Thanks guys. What's the point of that? Sucks big time. I must get on to Vodafone - luckily I have a friend on the special projects team at Vodafone, maybe he can tell me why......

Voda has made this clever little move where the only MP3s you cam use is the ones you BUY from them.

if you can use wav as a rigngtone what about converting mp3 to wav and cutting out the part that you want? [addsig]
