Transferring Audio & Photos from old phone to iPhone

Anyone know how I can transfer over to the iphone sound clips & photos from another phone. In particular, I have an audio clip (and some photos) on my last phone, Nokia E51, that I used for my ring tone and I'd like to transfer that (and the photos) to my iphone.

I've tried bluetooth and that didn't work.

Any suggestions, or verified solutions, appreciated.

Thanks

iphone 3gs, iPhone OS 3.1.3, MacBook OSX 10.6.3

You will have to transfer that information to your computer first. The iPhone cannot use just an mp3 as a ringtone. It has to be converted for use on the iPhone. A search will get you information on how to accomplish that.

Photos that you have on your Nokia will have to be transferred to your computer too, as photos stored on the iPhone for viewing in the Photo library are synced through iTunes, using a folder that is resident on the computer that you are syncing with.

Those are the solutions.
