I want to transfer a wav file from my laptop to my HDI for use as a ringtone. Can I, and if so, how? Can't seem to figure it out...

Just plug the phone into your computer with the USB cable and transfer the file in Windows Explorer.

Or if you have an SD Card adapter and reader, put the MicroSD card in the adapter, put that in the reader and copy it that way.

Did that, but over on the phone, I don't see the file anywhere when I'm trying to pick a ringtone...

Make the SD card folder name 'ringtones', then pwr off/on the phone. Files in the folder will then show up in the list.

Make sure you put the file on the SD card, not the phones internal memory. Theres issues with files being recognized on the phones internal memory atm, though a fix is expected soon^TM
