I was able to add custom ringtones to a Verizon Samsung Sway.  My approach was a little different and straight forward.

First off, when plugging to USB cable in for the first time (I have a Samsung Omnia i910, so cable works with Sway), Vista tries to install drivers.  I forget which screen but after clicking so many times for online search, the last page lead me to a link that enabled me to download and install this file:

So I removed the phone, install, and rebooted as instructed.  Then after reboot, plugged up phone (make sure to keep USB mode on phone to Ask, and don't select anything when prompted on phone).  Vista sees everything and magically a COM8 appeared.

 So I downloaded QPST-2.7 BULD 263 from isohunt cough dot com.  Followed instruction from howardforums.com and things work like a champ.

 To reduce the number of phone reboots from two to one, after the initial reboot and edit of file MrInfo.db, you can copy and paste lines to create new entries for every new mp3 copied to /brew/mod/mr folder.  Then when done, just copy file over and reboot one time.  This way you don't have to reboot to get new MrInfo.db, and edit, and reboot again to apply changes.

Another thing, when USB cable is used, set the phone to ask mode for USB.  And when asked, don't select anything!  Very important, as the drivers will do different things depending on your choice when asked.

If all your CDROM drives suddenly disappeared and device manager reports 'can not install drivers' then try the following:

It was about time to upgrade my brick of a phone, the XV6700.  I thought about the new HTC Touch Diamond and Pro, but they cost too much, I didn't feel the need to shell out 400 dollars plus for a new phone, which I know will be out of date by next year.  Just so happen to be doing research when this puppy came up.  Nice set of features, slim, and way cheaper.

After playing around with it, I like it.  There is bad, but you get what you pay for.  In particular, I just don't like the way it auto rotates.

 Well it's late, and I decided to whip out the Visual Studio 2008, created a new project and voila, my own orientation rotation program.

Rotate Left 

But if you want to rotate right, there's a default rotate command you can map, it's on the top of the list.

Created a programs folder call Rotate, then copy and paste a shortcut to your Windows\Program folder.  And, finally mapped it to hold button on the right of phone.  See picture, it's barely sticking out on the right side of the phone on top.

Upon launch, the program will run, check orientation, and rotate left, landscape.  Do the same again, and it will rotate back to normal portrait.  It will auto unload itself.

For those who are curious, here are the vb codes:

Public Class Main
Private Sub Main_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Select Case Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation
Case Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation.Angle0
Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation = Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation.Angle90
Case Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation.Angle90
Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation = Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation.Angle0
End Select
Me.Close()
End Sub
End Class

I brought up my virtual PC Windows 3.11 the other night and was curious to see if there was any new version of IE for windows 3.11.  So off to windows update I went.  Sigh, sadly, windows update told me to go to another site.  See attached image.
