This is a supplement to the Samsung Exclaim Personal Ringtone article I wrote. There is more information at the article about how to do this, so go there to read and if you need the video, that is now provided. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions.

This is how to make video ringtones, which is how you make ringtones for the Exclaim. This should also work for the Samsung Rant, as it should have the same software that is provided by Sprint.

Remember that you are trying to upload the video ringtone that you make to your memory card. That’s the one you want to do. You may need a memory card reader to hook up to your computer in order to do this right.

Samsung made it pretty difficult to get a ringtone on the Exclaim and Rant by Sprint. I’ve written a couple of articles about the two that I’d like to share.

The first one is on the Personal Ringtone on the Samsung Exlaim.

The second one is How to Get a Personal Ringtone on the Samsung Rant.

Let me know what you think of the two articles. I have to say, I had a time trying to figure this out. It took me nearly an hour of trying to figure out what worked.

I also found out that if I downloaded my favorite YouTube video, cut it into a 20 second edited piece, and format it correctly using the instructions, I could actually have mini clips of YouTube videos as ringtones. Fantastic, isn’t it? I made a handful from some on my favorites list and some of my favorite moments from YouTube channels I subscribed to.

So if you are a fan of Nalts or sxephil or any of those guys, you can take a piece of them with you.

I might do the opening to Firefly sometime as a nice ringtone.

I can’t wait until I have more ringtones to share with people. I might make a few of my favorites and upload them to this blog for others to use.

My Samsung Exlaim is actually a pain about putting on ringtones. A friend shared this. I thought it was funny.

I’ll be writing an article and making a video on how to put your own ringtones on Samsung Exclaim, soon.

I’m going to have to move the button on my browser so I’ll remember to post blogs.

I had to go get a new cell phone last week. Now I’ve been slow to the cell phone game, I had only gotten a cell phone last year, which my sister bought for me.

I had the Palm Centreo, but I had dropped it and broke the base where it plugs in, so it was my fault. The other problems I had were that the phone buttons, the keyboard, were so tiny I was typing with my fingernails. My fingernails were cutting into the soft plastic of the buttons. Not to mention the battery life was terrible. Even with Internet not draining the battery, it wouldn’t last a whole 24 hours without a charge.

So I ended up going out to Sprint and bought a Samsung Exclaim. I got the blue one, for some reason the raspberry color wasn’t as appealing. I tend to go for pink colors but the lack of color options was kind of disappointing. I wanted the full keyboard, and I like that I can hide it. It is a bit bulky compared to other slider type phones, but I kind of like that it is.

I had a bit of trouble when I first got it with ‘butt dialing’, something which I hadn’t experience with my Centreo.

There was something to be said about less applications than the Palm unit had. However, I found I wasn’t using all the applications that Palm offered, as an average user. Most of my use came from web browsing, texting, and IM usage. The IM services, as far as I can tell, I haven’t tried on the Exlaim yet, but I’ll see if I can get that going.

I would love to hear from users who have used Exclaim, perhaps someone who has used it for a longer period of time. What do you think of it?
