I'm sorry that cell phone companies in the US are screwing their customers, but around these parts phones are more open. You usually have direct access to your phone's file system via your computer (IrDa, Bluetooth or a cable) and can put any file you want on the phone. I did a quick survey of phone specs and MPEG-4 seems to be the format most phones can play. I'm guessing that means #GP, but I don't own any of those phones so I don't know. You may not have access to an API where you can automate file transfers to the phone (my phone shows up as an extra drive, so a savy programmer could probably fudge it), but you can transfer whatever you want. Move to Europe, we speak funny too. :o) - Andreas -- <URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ > Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. Yahoo!
