What Format Ringers Will The 8400 Support?

Well, I know it supports midi (.mid) but what else?
http://t1mmy.net/phone/phone.html » says they have a 1mb size limit.
What's the supported formats & video? The manual doesn't specify. I know ringers go to internal memory so that would be a restriction which is disappointing since I'm quite successfully using a 2gb microSD card.

I don't think all of them are limited in size.

I did notice that as for audio formats t1mmy about only supported midi so this list looks interesting. I'll need to try one. Any recommendations? I want to try sending an mp3 I just edited down to "ringer" size.

I just dumped a bunch on Rumkin.com itself, Try #1642897 for an instrumental blues guitar into that sounds sweet. Its about 90k for a 30 second mp3 (mp3 -> mono-WAV (to edit)-> mono-22khz MP3), sounds great and louder than Midi ringers, certainly more plentiful and easily recognized.

I've had great success with Rumkin.com. Keep files below 1MB. Any bitrate Mp3 stereo/mono joint/dual VBR etc. has worked so far for me as a ringer.

I also did Windows PCM Wav and AIFF encoded wav just to see, but there's no point using those.

the phone is neutered to prevent you from accessing ringtones (mp3s, midi, whatever format) you have on the microSD card. Very annoying.

That might be by design, since the SD card is removable, and takes longer to access. Maybe reading a large mp3 off the card would be too slow to catch sprint's stupid 30 second ringing window between finding the ESN and the voice-mail picking up. Just a thought. I get mp3's down to 90k each for a 30 second rip for ringtones. I'll let full songs stay on the card.

Nah, as I've said here before I'm sure it's so we cab't use a USB cable and transfer them from our PC ourselves. They want us to buy them from Sprint. Anything on the microSD card we can transfer to and from.

So about how much internal Ram is there? Since ringtones (especially mp3's I like to use) have to use it. Midi files are small and use very little but mp3's are somewhat "heaftier". As I've said before my microSD is a 2gb Sandisk. I wish I could direct everything to be saved there.

60MB on the 8400. I hear the M1 has 1GB!!!

I was told the M1 only has 40 MB for downloads (ringers etc.) and 1GB shared Flash max for everything else. No MicroSD slot.

When I was making my purchase decision the Sprint reps pointed out (referring to all the smudges and fingerprints) "this thing gets greasier than a PSP."
