I've been trying to find a Wii this Christmas and it has been quite difficult. However, I stumbled upon www.OuttaStock.com and it has proved invaluable. I just snagged a Wii bundle using the Nintendo Wii Finder, so I figure I can post my secret now. ;)

Sprint RAZR V3m - Playing Video, Music, and Other Nonsense

Some interesting notes on trying to play music on my phone.
Even though everywhere seems to say the phone only plays .wma files, I can't get mine to play them. However, it plays .mp3 and .m4a files just dandy. This is great as I wasn't looking forward to converting my music to Microsoft .wma on my Macbook.
Also, I could only receive files from my phone and not send to it until I updated the firmware (Settings -> Phone Info -> Update Phone SW). Now everything works great -- file transfer, iSync.
Ringtones can be created by renaming an .mp3 file as a .qcp and saving it in the audio directory. It is picked up from there just fine. Use bluetooth file transfer for this.
Something else that is neat is playing videos. I can take a video, say a movie trailer, and using Quicktime export it to MPEG4 (176x144) and upload it to the video folder. Then I can watch it fullscreen (though you have to hold the phone sideways because it is widescreen) using the video player. It's really too small of a screen to be useful, but it's still cool. Here is the trailer for the movie 300 and the Daily Show (Nov. 15) formatted for the RAZR.

Unzip and put in /MMC/DCIM/video on your phone. You can play them by going to Pictures and Videos -> My Videos -> External Memory.

iSync and a Motorola RAZR V3m

Labels:
iSync Plugins
My brand-spanking new RAZR V3m is sadly not supported by iSync. So, I put together my own plugin and now contacts and calendar sync perfectly. My RAZR V3m is from Sprint, so I don't know if the Verizon version works. Anyway, grab the zip, copy the "phoneplugins" folder to either ~/Library or /Library and try it out.
iSync-2.3 RAZR V3m phoneplugin [33 KB]
I don't know if it is a quirk with my setup or it's something all RAZR owners deal with, but after you sync, a "Voicemail" contact will be added to the contacts on your Mac. Don't delete it or all further syncs will fail until the entry is put back.
Also, you can sync email addresses as well as phone numbers by clicking on the phone's icon in iSync, and going to More Options...
