Hi guys! Through a bit of research, I finally got my tones onto my phone. To make this short and really simple, if you see that ominous erase and sync button, do not panic! It will not actually erase anything from your phone, at least as far as ringtones go. Just to be safe, after pressing

Hi! Hmm, sounds very intresting. A bit steap in pricing though. But give it a go and tell us about it. It sounds intresting even though it does not have all the Streams functionality. But it can play pdf and also uses a micro sd card which for me is a definit plus. /A > 14 juni 2016 kl. 17:30
