I was also trying to dl some mp3 ringtones. Looks like the cable's the way to go, me and Sonja both have the same phone so at least the cable will get double duty. The only reason we have the internet is because it came in a package (along with MMS and SMS messages). Being a programmer, I just had to play with it :-)

I dropped the effort because CINGULAR CHARGES WAY, WAY TOO MUCH PER KILOBYTE! I also dropped the wireless internet service period, as I found no worthwile use for it. If you can't read html, and have to have the scarcer-than-hen's-teeth wml, forget it. If all you want to do is move pictures and mp3s to the phone, a data cable and the Motorola software is a lot cheaper than the Cingular wireless internet service at $.01/kb. I had pushed mine up on my webhost, so I wasn't dealing with Cox's blockade on port 80 (for "residential" service) servers. The problem is interesting. Try these two. http://terrystockdale.com/test/test.php http://terrystockdale.com/test/test.wml In WinXP, IE 6 and Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 want to receive the .wml as a file, while Opera 7.53 receives it and shows the code itself (and says it has an error in line 2). After fighting wml unsuccessfully, I tried outputting the same code via a php file. Success. All three browsers receive the .php file as a good page. Interestingly, the wml file is simply the "source code" written by the php file. Your wml file comes up the same way in IE6, Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 and Opera 7.53 that mine does. Bottom line -- it's probably a server problem -- the problem is probably in the header and not in the document itself.
