Leaked AT&T doc slams the Palm Pre {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 22nd 2009 12:56PM Why would they put out this little memo?
Probably because that crazy guy from Palm said the Pre would be the iPhone killer. IMO, I don't think any phone can kill the IPhone.
T-Mobile Sidekick LX officially announced all over again {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 17th 2009 5:56AM Unfortunately, anyone who currently has an LX will not be able to upgrade for the $199.99 price. The LX came out in November of 2007 if im not mistaken, so that means no one is finished with their 2-year contract, which means they have to pay $419.99. (online price). But there are some who had the promotional 1-year contract so they are in the green.

Alltel unveils Samsung SCH-U520 {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 6th 2007 4:53PM MP3's as RINGTONES
CAUTION: I take no responsibility if this doesn't work as well for you as it did for me!!
Having said that, it worked brilliantly for me
First you should record a sound in "my sounds", just to confirm the directory is correct.
Obviously you need a cable. I used a susteen one (samsung cable 3, though it's not listed as being compatible with the u520, that's just because their software doesn't support it yet) and drivers for it (mine came with the susteen kit I bought a while back).
You need bitpim. Set it for 'other phone', set your com port to whatever your driver created and turn on the file system
In the file system you'll see a "brew" folder, then "mod" folder, then "18067" folder
In that 18067 folder, there should be whatever file you recorded earlier, plus an "Msinfo.db" file.
Copy your MP3 ringtone into this folder *NOTE* - My mp3's were renamed as .mid files a while back when I had an audiovox cdm8910 that required this; I don't know if you NEED to rename them or not, but mine already were. I don't think you do, though.
Once the file is copied, reboot the phone. This MUST be done before the next step, because the phone checks for new files and creates entries in the Msinfo.db file then.
Now, save the Msinfo.db file and open it with *WORDPAD* - that's important. Notepad won't read CR's as end of line (it expects CR/LF, so all you'll see is a funky box) - and other programs may add their own characters.
You'll see each of your files listed as such:
/ff/brew/mod/file|0|5
/ff/brew/mod/file.mp3|0|0
The last character is the key: the '5' somehow tells the phone that it is valid as a 'my sounds' file, where the '0' does not. So, change it. Change *ONLY* that character, and only change it to a '5'; I don't know what changing other characters will do...
anyway, overwrite that file on the phone with the edited version, then the file should appear in "My Sounds", where you can set it as a ringtone
