needs a non branded firmware flashing on it which is more hassle than its worth for a mp3 ringtone. I have the vodafone version too and just used the standard  tones

With SE phone you can get round this with some software to change the .mp3 into a protected file. There might be a nokia alternative out there.

if i get 1 from the fone shop without the vodafone sticker on does this allow me to use mp3 as ring tones?
