NO..... NEVER

have you seen the access point or connectivity setting in the phone? N3120 is only GPRS enable; means you can surf in the phone.

3120 does not have in-built modem ... so, It cant be used with the computer.

Take 3200 atleast.

Yes .. this prob arises .. only small files go with it ..
the midi file's size depends on the detail of the sound in the file..
..
even the .amr format is not playable in the 3120

Bcoz Nokia 3120 supports only 4-chord polyphonic ringtones.
U can reduce no. of instruments in the MIDI files using PC Suite or PSM Player, then it'll properly play in 3120 :D

Nokia 3120 only supports polyphonic rinftones, so it can't support AMR files...
