nokia 6630 ringtones

Can anyone direct me to an idiots guide on how to get new ringtones for a nokia 6630 please? It was vodaphone but has been unlocked and is now o2 if that makes any difference!
Thanks

Get the software and make your own much cheaper than buying or downloading as the 6630 supports mp3s, i use power mp3 cutter to cut the section of mp3 i would like and depending on memory if you need to reduce file size i use db poweramp music converter to change the bitrate but not really needed unless you are pushed for space but the cutter is good and you can select just to have the chorus of your favourite mp3 track.

Forgot to add and transfer them via bluetooth, if you dont have one they can be bought for around £10 some cheaper and some dearer.

i agree with gk172 - i would add this though, not sure it will apply to the 6630 but the 6230 had problems using ringtones stored on the memory card (access times etc) so the workaround was to store cut down versions (as above) on the phone memory.

at this point space does become more of an issue, db power amp will let you reduce the bitrate but will also allow you to convert mp3 files to aac format - this will save a goodly amount of space especially as you can get away with 96kbps bitrate aac's too.

rather than swap files between the mem card and handset mem on my 6230 i just used this method and kept a bunch of aac ringtones on the handset mem - still ended up with a decent chunk of it left for other things

Ive got the 6680 which i believe to be almost identical to the 6630 and i can store ringtones on memory card no problem so hopefully it will be the same.
