Ok after allot of footwork, I found a working method to collect my many emails into one email I can check with my Samsung Instinct. Samsung Cell Phone tips & tricks
Samsung Instinct tips – All for one email steps:
1st… Setup gmail and add it to your phone (seems to work both incoming and outgoing)
2nd… Get the program Mail Forward
3rd… Setup mail forward with all your email accounts, and set them to forward to your gmail account.
mail forward will monitor your accounts and when emails show up, they auto forward to your gmail account. Then your phone will notify you when you get them. that’s it, I now get 4 email accounts to show on my Samsung Instinct. Works pretty good if i will be away from my desk for a while. Samsung Instinct

Ok, Mac users,
Tonight I’ve found an easy way to create playlists and upload those tracks very easily on my Samsung Instinct. Here’s what you need: Samsung Cell Phone tips & tricks
(1) iTunes — to select the songs you want for your playlist. Create a playlist in iTunes.
(2) Download the free application SyncTunes. Here’s the URL: http://mac.majorgeeks.com/download4834.html
(3) Mount your SD card on your Mac using a card reader. SyncTunes will recognize the card reader as your device.
The application is very friendly and guides you in one single screen step by step. Your music and playlist will be uploaded to your card where you designate it. When you put the card back in the Instinct, everything will be there. Samsung Instinct
I bet it might even work with Bluetooth, but I have not tried that.

I’m kind of fond of some of the stock ringtones/alerts from my old phone (Treo 700wx) so I wanted to carry some of them over to the Samsung Instinct. One problem: They were in MIDI format. Darn. But don’t fret, I figured out how to convert the MIDI ringtones to .mp3 format and now I have them on my Samsung Instinct. Great huh? Here’s how. Samsung Cell Phone tips & tricks
