i was testing ringers on the 8100 today and i couldn't figure out how to
sample them...when i chose a ringer, it was selected but not played...is
there a way to preview them, or do you just have to know how they sound and
wait for the phone to ring?

Go to Menu>Tools and Extras>PCSync>Ringers>the ringer you want to hear>Play.
If the ringer is not one you downloaded and is in the phone when you bought
it go to Setting> Sounds>Ringer Type>the ringer occasion you want to
assign>select it from the list and it will play. If it is already selected
then chenge to another ringer and then change back.

With my 5300 I can, and the 8100 & 5300 are very similar with their
features. Go into your phone book, pick one entry, and scroll through all
the fields. One field should be Ringers. Hit enter on that, and select a
different ringer for that person.

I just went to the Manuel on line @ sprintpcs.com's site, and on page 52 of
115, it says the following:

Selecting a Ringer/Image Type for an Entry
You can assign a ringer/image type to an Internal Phone Book
entry so you can identify the caller by the ringer or image type.
(See “Ringer Types” on page 30.)
To select a ringer/image type for an entry:
1. Press of the Navigation key.
2. Select the entry you want to set as the incoming ringer or
image and press .
3. Press (right softkey).
4. Highlight Edit and press .
5. Select the menu under Ringer or Image by scrolling up or
down and press .
6. Highlight your desired ringer type or image and press .
 Get New: start up a Browser and you can select an item to
download.
 Normal: Ringer equivalent to With Caller ID or Roaming setting
(see page 30). Image equivalent to Incoming Calls setting (see
page 40).
 None: the setting equivalent to off.
7. Press (left softkey).
 To confirm the ringer, highlight Ringer and press (right
softkey).
 To see a display preview, press (right softkey) during
step 7 above, and press (right softkey) to see the Sub
LCD preview. (You may also check the image through the
external display.)
 To adjust the position of the image, use your Navigation key
during step 7 above.
 If you set an Animation Ringer (indicated with icon) and an
Image, your PCS Phone plays the Animation Ringer and
displays the selected Image.
 You should have pictures or downloaded data to set Image.

End of text.

So, it looks like you can assign specific ringtones or images for the
address book entries.
