Howdy Peeps,
It's me again. Sorry I haven't had the time to finish my www/wap N7650 Resources as yet. I've just came back from a Holiday watching the Indy Race on sunny Gold Coast, Australia.
While I was away, I stumbed on something. Not sure if it's so much a secret, but it hasn't been mentioned so I thought I'd bring it up.
Now, don't you think it's odd that Nokia released such a sophisticated phone yet limited it connectibility?? No Data Cables as such. Only Bluetooth and Infrared. Well those without those luxuries, do not despair!!!
Did you know that you can store ringtones, images and files on the web and download them onto your phone via WAP/GRPS???
It's quite simple actually. Upload your ringtone or picture to a server that is is WAP ENABLED. I recommend www.lycos.co.uk
Services>>>Connect >>> Options>>>Go to URL Address>>>Type in location of the file you want to download.
http://hostname/location/filename
Example: http://members.lycos.co.uk/mr6t9r/polyphonic/0013.mid
Try it. It's Aha - Take On Me.
You can do this with anything. But if you're planning on downloading it to your phone, try keeping all the files around 7kb or under (for some stupid reason you'll get a WAP ERROR: OPERATION CANCELLED) I think this may have to do with the size of packets allowed over WAP *shrugs*.
Edit your images with a photo editor eg. Photoshop and edit your ringtones with a midi tool eg. Anvil.
Well I hope you have heaps of fun with this tip. I know I have. LOL ;)
