As of today, all you need is a midi/mp3 file to be saved to your phone as a ringtone! There are thousands of free midis available online, and as for MP3s, you can create your own sample using software. I have always hated the concept of paying for ringtones/wallpapers. Operators charge for it simply cos they can, and they control the entire network infrastructure. Imagine if this applied to our regular internet surfing as well..and you had to pay for every picture that appeared in your browser!!

The ring tone market is hot hot hot and right now carriers are racking in the dough with something Nokia can do for free or reduced cost. Get some Nokia "exclusive ring tones" and you'll have a business model.

My phone is almost always on silent/vibrate. But my Treo 700W, via the synch programs easily lets me put any MP3 I want on it and play it. And pick anything I want for a ringtone. I can make a whole song the ringtone if I want. Or trim it down and only play the riff I want (assuming I edit the MP3). While it's not a feature I have much interest in, I'm with you Stefan. Any sound I can put on the device should have an option to "select as ringtone," And they need to make it easier to trade them around. Bluetooth would work, and why not share songs or whatever other media we have on the phone the same way.
