    Ring tones don't seem to be very good or loud can you put more on or make them louder?
    Yes - just stick an MP3 file in the My Documents folder and you can set it as a ring tone.
    There are loads on the net or you can pick your favorite song and use that.
    Or use an editor like CoolEdit or something to create an MP3 from a bit of music you like and use that.
    You don't get medals for sitting in the trenches.

    Also to make them louder edit your profile and set the ringtone volume and of course make sure you have the volume turned up using the volume controls on the left hand side

    depends what you want to do with the phone, I have ordered a 2 gig one as I am hoping to install north american maps along with tomtom 5.2 (correct me if this isnt possible please) and the maps alone are 1.1gig.

    Generally the bigger the better, especially if you want to use it as an mp3 player.
    If at first you don't succeed - destroy all evidence that you tried.

    Hi

    I've had the Lobster for over a week and Rate it highly.

    I've Got TomTom 5.2 installed. I've set up the maps etc and set my home location with no problems, but I keep getting NO GPS Device message on the maps screens.

    I'm using a BT-GPs 1210 Bluetooth Sirf III GPS Receiver.

    The bluetooth connection seems fine. I think I've paired the GPS to the phone using 0000 as the code. I've set the GPS option in the Tomtom package to other device. (I get a message saying check manual when I do this.)

    Have I done somthing wrong? Do I have to do something else... Com ports have been mentioned on here in the past?

    Has anyone got any ideas this is driving me mad!

    Thanks

    Yeah there was a problem with 5.2 and Bluetooth GPS, they launched an update to 5.21 or something which fixed it, or at least it does with the XDA

    Not bad, they have been cleared out of them!!! none left!

    I have had this phone for 14 months, I paid £89 and got £20 Virgin Megastores Voucher and £25 Credit, It is the best phone I have ever used, I use it for my emails on T-Mobile (£1 a day internet) and its great for keeping calenders etc.
