Mobile phone downloads

Didn't find your answer?

What is/ are MIME types and why do I get the error message 'wrong MIME type' when trying to download compatible video files (.3gp) to my mobile phone?
Thanks

MIME - more...
Thanks for that Veronica - I'm getting the idea now - My mobile is a Nokia (6810) not a Motorola. Do the MIME settings have to be setup on the webspace server or on my mobile itself to enable the downloads to work? (or both?)

MIME
Short for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
It's an Internet standard of formatting messages so non-text information can be encoded as text.
Your error could be that the mobile phone can't handle the MIME type reported by the remote server or isn't reported correctly by the server. Is your phone a Motorola ?
