Unfortunately no. I've tried emailing and MMS mp3 files, but it will not allow them to save, just play.
But it will allow pictures to save.

I can save mp3 files that I MMS. When you open the MMS, press and hold below the play button that shows in the middle. Press and hold below that on the subject line and you have option to save attached to SD.

How do you put everything on vibrate? under settings there is Phone Vibrate, but you still get sound (it vibrates with it). If I select Vibrate and Silent Mode the phone vibrates for calls but for emails and texts no vibrate....just silent. How do you put everything on vibrate?

You have to open the app and then click on it's "Menu" settings.

So, for email vibrate alert, click on Email. For texts, click on Messaging. Etc.

I figured out something neat about the contacts.

I have a corporate exchange email account setup.
The phone will display both your exchange contacts
and your phone\google contacts. However, I had some
exchange contacts that only had email addresses
for the same users, with the name entered slightly
differently. This produced two separate contact
entries. If you make the names identical, it will merge
all the info for that contact producing only one contact
entry.

Since I have been creating folders in for the picture gallery, a folder labeled All pictures seemed to have poped up that I can't seem to get rid of. Anyone else have this?

Also, is there a way to get autocorrect/suggestion to work on the slide out kb?

Has anyone figured out how to manually connect a facebook friend to a contact if the names don't match? With Blackberry I could manually do this but I can't seem to find the option to do this with the Droid.

Wondering the same thing

Is this for mp3s sent only from a cell, or also when sent from a PC email?

I think once you connected it to the computer you had to pull down the notification panel on the phone and click the usb notification so it will mount. I think this is right I havent hooked mine up since yesterday so I can't recall.

Yes, Make sure you're in Messaging home (with all threads listed), then Menu button, then Settings, scroll down and change tone.

In Email, hit Menu button, then Account Settings
