K. If you have an email client set up to check it may be doing that. If you are possibly in a fringe area it may be checking for a carrier conection. Watch your icons at the top right of you homescreen.

If you copy all of your ringtones to the root directory of your card they will show up in WM 6.1 If you are running WM 6.0 copy/move them to your Windows root directory.
