Sanyo SCP-5500 / VM-4500

I think this phone VM4500 does not support for animated pics. Because I have been to some websites and I tried to download some animated pics, but they did not work
Also, I'd searched on a website, and it says, this phone does not spport for animated pics.
I am so disappointed, cause I love animated pics.
Does anyone know how to get animated pics for this phone?
this is my first time using Sanyo phone, and I love it, nice phone with whoe lot of features and I am not a fan of Sprint. But I love this phone, so now I am a Sprint customer. I still have 13 days left to return the phone. If I don't like the service, probably I will return the phone and stay with Verizon. I love Verizon Wireless. It's the best hand out for wireless service
