Palm Treo 700w / 700wx
Is it true? No MP3s on the Treo 700?
I have read that you can't put mp3s on the phone because of the Microsoft/Verizon music deal. Is this true??? Microsoft wants to make sure they get their cut so no more mp3 are being allowed to be transfered to Verizon phones that have the most current software version...
I'm only asking because I'm probably going to be buying the phone on Tuesday and just want to know what I'll be getting into... I was hoping to assign mp3 ringtones to certain contacts... I got used to it with my current phone.
TIA!!!

Lets look at the facts..
1. 700w has Windows Media Player 10
2. 700w has removable memory
3. PDA Phones cannot use VCAST Video/Music service from verizon
4. Current VCAST phones support playing personal MP3s
So, I would have to say yes, it will play MP3s. Microsoft would throw a sh*tfit if they disabled WMP10.

Well my friend that may not be true, check out this article:
So back to my origianl question.... Can any current users of the Treo 700w play MP3s?
TIA
So there seems to be some fallout from Verizon's music download service -- users who choose to "upgrade" their handsets to support the Verizon Wireless music store are doing so at a tradeoff: you'll no longer be able to play MP3s on your phone. The new phone software prevents you from playing MP3s on the phone as a result of an agreement Verizon Wireless made with Microsoft, the latter of whom stipulated that if the Verizon Wireless music store was gonna fly at all, MS wanted to make sure that phones using it could only play back Microsoft's audio format. Supposedly there is an intern...

Dude, seriously, TRY TO READ THE PREVIOUS POST! 😡
Yes, 8100 (with new sw), 950 (with new sw), 9800 (with new sw) won't play MP3s, they'll play WMAs. But YOU choose to go for Music-on-demand or MP3 capability. That's not going to affect other phones (at least not anytime soon) and most certainly not going to affect the PDAs. 🙄
Sometimes I wonder can people really read...

DUDE!
Yes I can read thanks for asking! It didn't answer my question. All I asked was a simple question - I don't want to play WMAs I want to play MP3s, that's all. No need to get ****y about it....- you must work for verizon....
Thanks for your round about answer anyway... Have a nice day! and have a drink on me!

of course it plays mp3's. I have a different mp3 set for every contact in my phonebook and I use the 700 as a mp3 player.. I watch divx movies.. etc.

Question for you. How do you get the Treo 700w to play ringtones that you've copied to the device? I have MP3's and MID's that I've downloaded from Wal-Mart.com and copied to the device in both formats.
I go into the specific contact and set one of those as the ringtone. But, the Treo 700w won't play it and when that person actually calls me, it just plays the Windows default ringtone instead.
Is there a trick to it? If so, can someone tell me how to do this?

You answered your own question in your post
STOP! Right there, you did it, answered your own question. There is no PDA that will use the wireless music store.
