Objects in MMS messages on N70 question

Hi all,
I've had my N70 for some time now and have had no problems with it so far!
There is one thing I am wondering is why cant I attach .MID or audio files to an MMS message like a friend of mine can do on his Sony Ericsson? I composed an own ringtone in MIDI format and wanted to send it but it didn't work and I understand that it might have to do with maybe DRM but since I created myself it cant be that! Any ideas? Many thanks, Chris

I was not even aware of this.

Tried to insert a midi-file in a new MMS message and get the message
"unable to insert copy protected material"...

Come on NOKIA, this is ridicilous!!!

I was aware of that sending SIS/JAR/MID files from one phone to another
is alos prevented/denied due to copy rights/DRM, which also is ridicilous
since I might have made these files myself. Even more ridicilous that you
cannot insert these files into an MMS..

We have to e-mail Nokia about it, unless somebody is capable of modifying the
firmware for the N70 removing these limitations. 😉

Hi,
I agree! Why is the option there that you can attach it to an MMS message? The MIDIfile I created was not copyrighted and the phone reported unable to send content in this format, i am using a None english version of the N70 so I hope you understand what I mean!
The Sony Ericsson seem to be able to send allmost any file including MIDI and MP3. I even tried to use Fileman but of course it didn't work! I was eventually going to upgrade to firmware 5 but since it didn't fix the problem I might wait!

theres a prog called moobiluck which will aloww you to send protected files over bluetooth.
for mms try remaning the extension to somthng like .-sis or .-midi or .-jar

To send 'protected' files, just rename the extension, eg, smallville.sis to smallville.txt, then send, and rename back to smallville.sis

Hi,
Hi tried renaming the .MID file to filename.-midi, but with no luck. It still cant send it but now I did it with the original file manager that came with the phone. My trial for Fileman has expired, but will purchase it soon.

Hm.. u send the renamed files over MMS? or just via BT? (10m)

I tried sending the file over MMS but with no luck.
However, if I renamed the file to filename.txt it worked, but the content of the MIDI file got paste into the message and the phone crashed so that was not good had to remove the battery! I really hope that Nokia will fix this problem!
