Ringtone problem - please help!

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.nokia (More info?)

I have recently brought a Nokia 6600 mobile phone and I have a strange
problem that I hope you can help me with.

I have all my contacts in my phone, I then created some contact groups and
put the appropriate contacts in the appropriate groups.
I then assigned the groups a ringtone, and this is where my problem comes.

If I assign a group a ringtone that came with the phone everything is okay,
when someone rings from a group, the ringtone assigned to the groups rings.

However, if I assign a group a ringtone that I downloaded when someone from
a group rings it does not play the assigned ringtone it plays the default
ringtone (whichever tone was selected as the default) instead.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Any idea how I can solve the problem so it will ring my group assigned
ringtone even if it is one that I downloaded?

I hope you can help me as although this is a small thing its really annoying
me as I cannot have the tones I want for different groups.

Any help or information will be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance!

The bug also exists in the 7650 (which uses the same operating system),
so it's a Symbian-60 bug.
