OK I just got this phone friday, and i've done alotttt of ready all weekend, but i'm still confused a bit about a few things.

This mysterious telecom folder? is that where all the pictures i take kept? and is it normal I can't access it. When i got the phone they told me someone was telling them they were able to drill down through a couple directorys and they found all their picture files, they just had to copy them off and change the extension to .jpg and they worked fine. But it dosen't allow me to open the folder, is there anyway around this?

Second, I was using the IR to connect to my laptop, I was able to put on new wallpapers on my phone transfering them over the IR, but I have not been able to get any other media to work. Tried ring tones, and tried copying over games and stuff. But nothing will work for me. It says something like "failed to update the ringing tone to the phone" or "item is too large to be saved in the phone" depending on which method i used, the Nokia program, or just copying it over in file view. I am using correct midi files also.
While playing with this though i changed the extension from .mid to .txt and then copied it over and it would copy over fine, but I'm not able to change it to a .mid once on the phone. I open the downloads folder on the phone and it shows the ringtone that i copied over, and it shows the music notes next to the name to symbalize a tone, but it wouln't play.

From what I gather these services are blocked, and the telco wants me to use their service for downloading ring tones, games, and transfering pictures through them. But i'd rather not pay that extra money and do it myself... Or will i be forced to in this situation....


thx
