Making free ringtones is easy in itunes:
1. Pick a song 2. Right Click > Get Info 3. Set the start and finish times to the part of the song you want to use as a ringtone, they must be less than 40 seconds apart 4. Right Click > Convert to aac 5. Right Click on the created file > show in windows explorer 6. Change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r 7. Import that file back into itunes and it will now be listed as a ringtone 8. Dont forget to reset the start and finnish times on your original song and delete the song created in step 4 from your library |

The MMS app is great, when you first get a mms from o2 you get a text telling you to go to the website and a pin, all you do is put the pin into the app and whenever you get a text from o2 telling you that you have a new mms it automatically downloads it into the app and deletes the text you got. sending them is easy as well however currently you have to purchase credit seperately via paypal, it varies between 25-35p per mms. as for video calling, never, ever used that and never heard of anyone doing so either. and not many other phones allow you to upgrade past 16gb anyway.
Battery life i find to be ok really, ive been using mine today and its still showing half battery and ive done about an hours web browsing, played a few games, about 5 hours music, and had it checking my mail every 15 from 2 accounts. The bold has gotten quite a few bad reviews because of the on screen keypad being nigh on impossible to use comfortably, the storm is quite good. have had several htc phones in the past, the build quality is utter shite now, used to be good and there support is equally bad, i remember a group of people fighting for a couple of years to get the drivers for a graphics chip that was in one of the phones (it was the orbit 2 on o2 but i cant remember the htc codename for it sorry) because they couldnt be bothered implementing it despite advertising the phone as having the chip, they never did get it. and ive vowed never to get another windows mobile phone, i dont care how much crap they se to cover it up its a slow and buggy platform. at the end of the day i wanted a decent enough phone capable of playing music and browsing the web that just worked, i couldnt care less about video recording etc (i had an n95 8gb before it and that has a quite decent camera, in the 6 months i had it i took 36 photos and 3 videos of which 0 were kept when i wiped the phone) and if that is what you want the the iphone is brilliant, i wouldnt swap it for any phone ive had previously (and theres quite a few of them) |

the person is writing that as their daughter (Martha) is deaf and she is playing with her food
the only way they communicate with her is by text so they are just telling her to eat up her food |

Of all the snarky Apple references in pop culture, my all time favorite is this brief clip from The Simpsons. During a school assembly, Kearney tells his buddy, "...take a memo on your Newton: Beat up Martin." He scribbles away only to see the Newton's handwriting recognition interpret his memo as "Eat up Martha."
A few years ago, a number of plastic Simpsons characters were issued, and the Kearney character actually shipped with a tiny Newton with "Eat up Martha" on the screen. I have one in my office. |

You can also take a screenshot of your phone by holding the off button and then pressing the home button. |
