How lame is this. First we can't get bluetooth? Then we find out VCast isn't really all that (after first 2 days of oooohs, and aaahs). 😲

...Now, I just found out that all new verizon handsets have what's called a DRM protection...Which pretty much means you can't download your own and any 3rd party ringtones. That's right, no MIDI no WAV not even QCP files downloaded on ur handset can be used as ringtones (you can still play them back if love hearing that crisp MIDI sound). I got the samsung a890, the phone's hot, but it's crippled just like any other VZW handset.

...The sacrifices I made for getting great reception and sound quality. ☹️

I have the LG VX-8000 and I have no problems putting midi files on my phone and using them for ringtones.

It's probably just the 890, since it does not have MP3 capability, you probably can't put midi or wav on there either. But with my 8000, I can use third party ringtones all that I want.
