Hi, I recently got a Nokia 3205i, and joined up with a website providing ringtones, wallpaper ect. To get the file, you give them your phone's email adress, then they send a text message with an attachment. I did the compatability test, and was able to open their sample image file, and sample audio file (both just played automatically after I selected to use the link.) However, when I want to open an actual ringtone, I see the file name but no way (that I can see) to select it or download it. It sits there, and nothing happens.
Does anyone know what I can or should do? has anyone else experianced this before?
thanks for your time.

I own a Nokia 3205i myself, and have run into the same error... After talking to Nokia Canada, they explained that the file type that the phone uses is a "copyright protected" music format. The only way to get the ringers that is officially supported by any of the providers is downloading them from their own WAP sites...
There are ways of doing it with either a data cable or certain Infared dongles, but none are officially supported by the manufacturer, or the provider.
