This is for MP3 ringtone and clipper.

Ringtones Sat, 07/12/2008 - 03:28
TO make custom ringtones u need an mp3 cutter software. when u cut your tone to size. u find a website for downloading files to your phone. it will turn them into ringtones when u download them.
YOu can go to www.myxer.com Wed, 07/16/2008 - 14:56
YOu can go to www.myxer.com and get ringtones. Website works for sprint. You can customize the ringtone and it is free.

Samsung Instinct Wed, 07/16/2008 - 18:58
I have had this phone for about 3 weeks now. I got it while waiting for Sprint to get the Blackberry Curve back in, but I think I will keep this one. I really like the GPS, TV (albeit limited) and the touch features. I find it so much easier to learn to use than previous phones. It has more features for the money than other smart phones and Sprint has really good family data/voice plans.
Instinct; Great Multimedia Phone Sat, 07/19/2008 - 17:35
The only thing akward is the mobile internet browser...the rest is fantastic. From call quality to messaging I just love it.
Love it. Sun, 07/20/2008 - 05:22
Ive had this phone for 3 weeks, I LOVE it.
My husband has the iphone, and the only difference he said he notices is that I cant download third party programs and he can.
Software Downloads... Wed, 07/23/2008 - 00:39
I would agree with the majority that overall it is a great phone for the money. I am a bit suprised that it isnt provisioned to act as a phone/modem for my laptop to have internet access like my pocket pc 6800, and it doesnt have the audible note/voice recorder on it either. those are the two major things i am a bit disappointed about. i also havent figured out how to access the files on my strorage card like i could with my pocket pc 6800 through the "file explorer" option. Lastly, i would also like to know about any websites i go to for software downloads that are compatible with this phone. If anyone knows any please forward the info to mrbrucebrown@yahoo.com
Email Sat, 08/09/2008 - 23:32
i can't believe that this instinct does not support corporate email. I need outlook and to sync contacts and calendar, but apprently the phone does not have this capability. it only has windows live.
Does anyone know how to do this???
Yahoo Messenger for Instinct Tue, 07/29/2008 - 22:53
Overall the phone is cool... Work fuctionality leaves a bit to be desired. I am use to being able to communicate via messenger without being connceted to the internet. The m.yahoo browser is cumbersome. Does anyone know when software will be available for use with the Instinct like with other phones...? inparticularly an easy use format like the blackberry...?
Does anyone know who the Wed, 08/06/2008 - 20:22
Does anyone know who the artist of the painting for q wallpaper iw? Of that blue one with the woman?
Help Sat, 08/09/2008 - 23:28
i just bought the instinct and cannot believe that it does not support corporate email (i.e. Oulook) and synco software for calendar and contacts. If this is the case this phone is completely useless.
Does anyone know if any of the above is possible???
corporate email Sun, 08/17/2008 - 14:42
I had to forward my corporate e-mail to a yahoo account and send the yahoo account to my instinct. Kind of awkward however it does do the trick.
software Sun, 08/10/2008 - 05:18
i cannot believe that this phone does not support corporate email with Outloo and sync with it.
Does anyone have any idea how to get it???
Microsoft Sun, 08/17/2008 - 14:43
Does anyone know if any microsoft applications are available for the instinct ? Excal, word etc...
