Motorola i880 / i885
Why the ringtone selection/method sucks:
taken from the i880's Owner's Manual, p.168:
Rules for Assigning Ring Tones
Not all audio files can be assigned as ring tones:
Ӣ Ring tones purchased or received from Nextel
can be assigned as ring tones. Other audio files
may not be supported as ring tones.
Ӣ Non-DRM items and expired DRM items cannot
be assigned as ring tones.
Ӣ Files on the memory card inserted in your phone cannot be assigned as ring tones.
😲 😲 😲
What the heck? That's one reason I got this freakin' phone was to use mp3 ringtones. Anyone know of a way around this? 😢

Note: They tell you that you can copy items from your card onto the phone:
Copying and Moving Items
If you have a memory card inserted in your phone’s
memory card slot, you can copy and move items in
the Media Center from your phone’s memory to the
memory card or from the memory card to your
phone’s memory.
1 Access the Media Center.
2 Scroll to or select the item you want to move.
3 Press m.
4 To copy the item, select Copy To Phone or
Copy To Card. -or-
To move the item, select Move To Phone or
Move To Card.
Problem is, in order to get to the MP3 files on the card, you have to go into the Media Player, which apparently offers no "copy" functionality.
ARRRRRGH!!!! 👿 👿
