Handspring Treo (May 2007, Week Vol. 0)

Goodbye, Treo 650
May-28-2007
My Treo 650 is dead. A few days ago it stopped working - wouldn’t turn on, wouldn’t charge. I futzed around it for it a bit and got it to work for a few hours. And then it stopped working again. And then I got it working again and had the screen go wacky on [...]

CTU ringtone from '24'
May-02-2007
Here's another page with the .

What I want to know is how to move the CTU24.wav file from a laptop to a Treo 700p?

Putting it on an SD card and popping that into a Treo 700p does not work. The file does not show up when I place the card intot he Treo.

Putting it in Palm Desktop for syncing over forces it into the SD card xfer window, but I want it in the phone memory.

Sending it as an SMS message to the Treo results in a text message without an attachment.

I can't even figure out if the Treo 700p has a file manager application to let me look around the phone memory.
