    I have put my message tones in "my documents" and my ringtones in "ringtones".

    This is **** but its the only way to get the message tone changed.

    Only SE knows why they have done this and why they have made so many stupid mistakes on a great phone.

    Also you can put any .mp3 directly in the 'Windows' folder - then it will come up in the list of avialable sounds even for 'New text message' (or similar).

    Hold the stylus on the screen in a blank area and Paste should appear. The bottom of the screen is best.
