Do you have infrared or cable connection to your S40? If so, use your fav Web search engine and look for ringtones in RTTL format. Download them to your PC and use XTNDConnect Viewer to import them.

Example, here's a (Dutch?) site that has some:

the bad thing of the S40 is the ringtone input style is totally different from other Siemens phone

yeah, even with the site mentioned above, i'm still having problems figuring out just exactly how to input the notes...advice anybody?

Well it's kinda tricky at first but it gets easier once you get used to it. First you must understand what everything means.

the letters, (C, D, E, F, G, A, B) represents the musical key of the note.

'#' or 'is' beside the note means the note is a sharp.

the numbers, (1, 2, 3) represents what octive it is in.
Note: Most sites post melodies for other Siemens phones. You might find yourself having to set the song one active higher or lower inorder to get it to fit.

now u need to know what buttons to press. for notes, 1-7 gets you notes C-B (B for some reason on the S40 is 'H')

'8' button plays back what u have composed.

'9' changes the length of the note

'0' deletes the previos note

'#" makes a 'pause' between notes

'*+' displays everything above on one screen (familiarize yourself with this screen to get an idea of the which button does what)

side button changes notes up one key with a short press and up one octive with a long press.

middle scroll button lets you move back and forth through the melody without messing anything up.

Hope this helps. Or maybe I should of said, "READ THE FREAKIN' MANUAL YOU LAZY MUTHAFUKA"

The reason for the H being used is that in German the B is a B natural. The H is a B flat. Since the S40 is a German phone it uses the German nomenclature for the music notes.

A famous music work by JS Bach is based upon the letters of his name B-A-C-H (or B natural, A natural, C natural and B flat).

Enough trivia.......

Ja? O.K.

So wouldn't that mean Bach be spelled H-A-C-H?

So what's the note for H sharp?

Posted by: Spectre

There is no such thing as an H sharp. The diatonic scale consists of twelve notes, each of which is one-half step distant from the next. In English it reads as follows:

A flat (also G sharp)
A natural
B flat (also A sharp)
B natural
C there is no C flat or B sharp)
C sharp (also D flat)
D natural
E flat (also D sharp)
E natural
F (there is no F flat or E sharp)
G flat (also F sharp)
G natural

In the above example you see two note labels for some notes. These are notated as a "b" (not the letter b, but a symbol that is similar) for "flat" and a "#" for "sharp. The natural sign is usually omitted, but it looks like a square box with two legs at opposing corners.

Now, in German music nomenclature, the B is a B natural. The H is a B flat.

It's the other way round: H is a B natural, B is a B flat.

The origins of this nomanclature are medieval: b was called "b rotundum" (the round b), h was called "b quadratum" (the square b). Later, that sign was seen as an h.
