I have MetroPCS and I'm strongly considering getting a Razr...Now I have a lot of friends that talk shit and say the Razr sucks, but fuck it - MetroPCS doesn't have much better lol. Plus my brother has Metro and he has the Razr and he loves it...

For the people on here that have METRO and have a RAZR, I have a question: You can put .mp3's on it right? Like for ringtones and shit? Because my brother can't figure out how, but I'm sure it can be done, cuz it can be done with Cingular and other carriers, and it has Bluetooth. Plus, the standard ringtones that come on the phone are .mp3 format...

Can someone clarify this for me please, because I'm not buying one if I can't put some Bay Area ringtones lol...

THANKS

You're supposed to be able to but some providers disable MP3 file transfers/bluetooth file transfers.

I know Verizon cripples their Razrs so you can't upload your own MP3 ringers. Metro may do the same thing since they both use CDMA. I know Sprint, T-Mobile and Cingular don't do this with their phones. May be the case. Check out howardforums.com. They have a shitload of info on just about all mobile providers and phone manufacturers.

Verizon cripples it because they make bookoo cash from ringtones,wallpapers, and data transfers in general. It doesn't have anything to do with the carriers technology whether it's CDMA or GSM because Sprint is CDMA as well. Verizons first generation of Razors with the s/w version ending in .02 left the b/t file transfer completley open but pretty much all of them now have the latest firmware ending in .04
