On the SD card root create the following folder paths and from what Ive expierienced it is case sensitive.

Create a folder on the root named "media"
media>

Inside "media" create a folder named "audio"
media>audio

Inside "audio" create three more folders named "ringtones", "notifications", & "alarms"
media>audio>ringtones
media>audio>notifications
media>audio>alarms

Then just put your ringtones in the ringtones folder, your notification sounds in the notifications folder (text, IM, email alerts, etc.) And put any sounds you may want to use as an alarm tone for the alarm clock in the alarms folder.

Hope this saves you some time!
Badass, sir, many thanks!

i came from the touch pro to the pre then to the hero. and gmail made life easy

Yeah, from the short amount of time I played with the phone this morning it seems pretty easy to navigate and setup. I'm in the process of updating all my Gmail contacts to make it that much easier to import on the next upgrade.

The only gripe I have was that I was forced to upgrade plans, but, with the discount it only amounted to around $20 more for everything data for both lines now instead of just mine...so, I guess the wife will be happy using my TouchPro until her contract is up.
