samsung i500 questions

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

Just got a new Samsung i500 phone. Overall, I like it. Have yet to form an
opinion about Sprint in general.

Questions:

Am I correct in my understanding that the USB cable has sufficient power to
charge the batteries without having to plug in the travel charger?

On the sprint website, this phone is described as being a speaker phone.
True? If so, how do I use it in that manner?

How do I download ringtones to it? Can I even do that? Never having owned a
phone that allowed changing ringtones, I have little knowledge of the
process. Can I record something on my computer, save in the correct
format/density, and upload to my phone?
