    Is there any handset (picture phone) that will allow you to choose mp3's as tones and ring tones as that would be a very cool feature.

    I know the P800 has an inbuilt player but does this extend to the above?

    The P800 in its current form no, but I think a future firmware will provide this fuctionality.

    You can use the nokia multimedia converter (a win app) to go mp3->amr which will run on most new nokia phones

    mp3 playback in hardware requires a licence from thomson fraunhoffer which isn't cheap.

    As a ring tone etc?
    ..but i would obviously need a memory chip and what are the prices like for a 64/128mb chip these days?

    ringtone only lasts 10 - 20 second, so ur only going to need a clip that size from the mp3 file you want to use, so the size of the converted wav file will be between 1-2mb, P800 comes with 16mb of memory on board (12mb free) and also with a 16mb memory stick. A 64 mb memory stick is available from komplett for €80 here

    Well if you happen to have a 7650/3650, you could always use the sound recorder and record a minutes worth of music. Then use the amr file as a ringtone, but the sound quality will be shiite to say the least.

    Or convert the mp3 to an amr using the Nokia Multimedia Converter and then install it on your 7650/3650, using WAP, email, IR or Bluetooth.

    From here

    It says that the P800 supports the amr format.
    Multimedia file playing: Audio formats supported by the P800 audio player are MP3, WAV, AMR, AU.

    Different format?

    How does AMR compare to MP3...sound quality?
