Worked fine with mine when I saved to stick. Not sure what I did wrong the first time!

Hi all,
Just got my V800 yesterday and have already spent about 2 hours trying to set an MP3 as a ringtone, without success. I've followed all the intructions here - downloaded the DRM Management Packer, successfully added DRM Content and dragged Greece2000.dm across to my phone's memory stick via XP Explorer.
The file seems to cause the phone problems - it will register the file as being there, but the phone hangs for about 20 seconds before it appears (either in 'my items' or ringtones'), and every action I try to take with the file takes the same amount of time. Trying to play it results in a 'playback failed' error. I've tried playing it from the media player and it does exactly the same thing. It appears in the 'sounds' menu with a strikethrough 'key' icon next to it (implying unlocked?).
Anyone got any more plans? I'm really keen on the idea of MP3 ringtones, given how much most polyphonics sound like something off Phoenix Nights.

Have you tried using another mp3 file instead?
To create the .dm file I simply used the default settings (forward-lock) on the packager. I then copied the file to the memory stick (the audio directory) via USB. I then disconnected the USB, browsed in the phone to my items and found the ringtone, played it to make sure it worked and then set it as the ringtone using the right soft key menu.
If you follow each of those steps then at which point does the phone hang for 20 seconds?

Please can somebody tell me where to get the packager from? I have checked the web site but seem to be missing it somehow.

Nokia offers a similar DRM tool on their developers site which allows you to create DRM wrappers for your mp3 files. These files work also on Sony Ericsson models. For a tutorial how it works with this tool check this link:

make sure you send the file via bluetooth, infared, mms. copying it directly to the mem stick will not work.

I believe it will not work on V802 at all. Only tones purchased from Vodafone will.

Oh great... but my V802SE is unlocked and there is no Vodafone in my country...
So do I have any chance?
