    Hey guys, sorry I never got around to putting the video up. I had a hard drive failure and the video went with it, and I have yet to motivate myself to do a round 2 at the video.

    The highnote will play Movies at 192 X 144, 25fps, bitrate 500 as a 3g2 file. The sound I am using is at 22050, 16 bit Stereo, bitrate 128, just to keep files sizes down. I belive the sound portion can go higher, this goes in your DCIM 100 folder with your pictures and camcorder videos and yes it will look like a box with a red X on it. I've recently made a ringtone useing Myxer.com and it works with incoming calls. What they sent me was an mp3. at a poopie bit rate of 32. If anyone could figure out how to E-mail ringtones to there phones to get the tones in the My Stuff folder we could begin to find out how far we could push the phone.What bitrate mp3? What kind of aac? Theres some sort of other file type as well, but as far as quality ringtones its going to be between mp3 and aac.

    I have a video in the works guys, I'm just finalizing it and getting it ready to post to Youtube. Post processing is taking a while right now, so it might not be up until tomorrow, but I'll let you know as soon as its up.

    Okay Simple...All i did Was

    1. made my own 3g2 ringtone
    2. put my 3g2 ringtone into my memory card in the folder DCIM, 100SSMED
    3. recorded a "random video" on the phone
    4. make sure the "random video" was saved in the same folder mention before
    5. went to settings, sounds, ringer type, incoming calls, with id or without doesnt matter, and then my videos, in memory card, and selected the "random video"
    6.and after you do that just go through settings, sounds,....again and this time just set your 3g2 ringtone.

    and thats all i did...
    Also keep your 3g2 ringtone name short and easy...

    Hopefully that help

    Okay i had the same problem as you guys did...everytime i tried to assign my 3g2 ringtone it would say "saving to phone...please wait" and then it just took me back to my main screen...

    Now the way I fixed it was...I recorded my own lil 4 sec video and then saved it to my memory card in DCIM, 100SSMED...

    After that i just went to my settings for the ringtone type, set my lil 4 sec video as my ringtone, went back and saved my 3g2 i wanted and worked...werid...but worked...and also i named my 3g2 file i wanted to something similar to like "SSPX0005"...just in case the high note was really picky...

    So FYI thats just what i did...

    The files have to be in the folder called DCIM and then in the sub folder called 100SSMD. This is if you have a micro SD card in your phone.

    I have the same problem of not getting any sound. Did you ever figure out how to get around this issue and get the sound to work when the ringtone is assigned to a contact?

    Spent most of Saturday using various programs to put ringtones on two high notes. Finally found "Ventones"; an easy, free program to convert mp3's.
    You upload your mp3, play it and set pre set size box to desired start point.
    You can't just download from this point as it will not be in the correct format. You must "click here for special instructions" and then "save target" to your specified folder on your pc. I created 3. 2 of them worked fine and 1 wouldn't work, it reverted to the default ringtone.
    As has been stated, you must save to your DCIM 100*** folder. What worked best for me was to go to photos, memory card, select the video (it should be a green box with no picture),
    click on options and assign it to either voice calls (incoming ringer) or an individual contact.
    Hope this saves some of you some time

    That sounds great and I will try that, I was wondering if you know if that same process will work but instead set as "incoming calls" ringtone.... do you know off hand?

    ok, i tried a combination of everything listed here before I came up with the step-by-step that worked for me...

    Download Audacity (Audio editor)
    Download LAME MP3 Encoder (There is a link for this on the Audacity site)
    Import the desired song into Audacity and edit it to the appropriate length...something around 512kb or so, I can't remember the exact number that my phone gave me as the max size for a ringer...
    Click File > Export as MP3
    Audacity will ask for the location of LAME, they only ask you to locate the DLL once...
    Now is where the confusing part comes in...
    type the name to your new ringer followed by .3g2 (I used Stellar by Incubus, so that will be my example)
    so in the Export window the filename was Incubus-Stellar.3g2
    now the key is to change the file type, the little drop-down menu under file name. The options should be MP3 or All Files....go with All Files...
    Audacity will then inform you that the MP3 that is being created by export has a file extension that is not .mp3 and that some devices won't read it. That's ok with us, because the Highnote will...

    Now you should have an MP3 file with a .3g2 extension...connect your phone to your computer, go to tools > Mass Storage > Connect to PC
    copy the .3g2 file from your computer into the DCIM > 100 folder (the one mentioned before by others)...then disconnect your phone from your computer

    Now how you apply the ringer probably won't matter, but in case it does this is what worked for me...
    I hit Contacts then chose the person to apply it to, clicked ok to open up the screen that shows the Picture, number, and ringer...went to the ringer and then clicked change. Select My Videos then choose the file that you've added to the phone from your memory card. The image for me was a black box with a red X and it still worked just fine. It gave me a message that it was saving the file to my phone and then showed a confirmation message that the ringer was now set...

    I hope this clears up all the confusion about an MP3 file format with a .3g2 extension...enjoy
