Hello fellow Zedgers, this help is geared for those who do not have an unlimited internet plan, or cannot afford the internet bill as a result from using Zedge, and who do not know how to do this already.

What you will need:
USB Cord
Phone
Mozilla Firefox (optional) and a destination to save things you want from Zedge to your computer
patience

*note* I am running Windows XP. Results may vary depending on your system

Step One

First thing you need to do is pick out an item. You must then download it to your computer. Lets assume you have made a folder on your computer to put your items in (lets call it "Zedge Folder" for now), procceed to step 2

second, hook up your phone to your computer (1). Assuming it has been installed (if not follow the on-screen instructions), open up its contents. MAKE SURE TO SELECT FILE TRANSFER MODE ON THE PHONE! to do this, go to my computer, click on your phone's memory-card "name". That will open up 8 more folders. You are now inside your phone's memory card. You should see the following folder names: DCIM, music, other, picture, sports, theme, video, webpage. (see image 2).

From here, you can choose a folder to go into. If for instance you want to put a wallpaper on your phone, select "picture". Here you will find any non-camera taken picture. Remember the Zedge folder from before? Go into that folder, while keeping the phone folder up (yes, this means opening a second window). Copy the image you want, go to the phone, and paste it. You can do that method with video, pictures, music, and themes.

Extra notes:
DCIM is where your camera album is. You will encounter another folder after clicking DCIM, but just click on it to get to your album

I prefer using Firefox because it asks for a download destination, which is alot easier on the user part in terms of keeping track of downloaded files

This should work with most phones.

Let me know some results you the people are getting! I will help with any questions regarding a SE W580, but I cannot accurately help others due to the fact I dont know any other phone well enough.
