Tips on your new 3125 - Cingular/HTC - Cingular Customer Forums

WHERE CAN I FIND SOFTWARE FOR MY 3125?
Do a search for "Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone software" on Google, and it will bring back several sites. My personal favorite is smartphone.net, but there are many others. Make sure that you download ONLY software that is compatible with WIndows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone version, Pocket PC software will not work, nor will most programs written for Windows Mobile 2003. Before you buy, download the trial version and make sure it works on your 3125. If you had a 2125, all of the software that you had for the 2125 will work on the 3125.

T TAKES FOREVER TO INSTALL MUSIC USING WINDOWS MOBILE MEDIA PLAYER, ISN'T THERE A BETTER WAY?
Don't use it!!
By far the fastest and easiest way to install photos and music to your 3125 is to use Activesync.
1. Sync your phone.
2. While connected open Explore.
3. Open My Device and double click on Storage Card
4. Drag and Drop your photos and music from My Documents on your PC to the open Storage Card window (i.e. don't put it in a folder on the storage card). Everything will copy over in seconds. DO NOT create a separate folder in your Storage card to store any music you want to use as ringtones.
Alternately, you can use your microSD card's SD-adapter and a card reader to copy over files to your storage card.
Do NOT use Windows Mobile Media Player to sync your music -- it will take hours if you have more than one song.
