>Do you know what you have to do to get a ringtone on the iPhone?

Yep. They're free. Just download them as podcasts. http://macmost.com/free-iphone-ringtones

Or even use iTunes to make them out of music on your computer: http://www.ehow.com/how_2160460_custom-iphone-ringtones-free...



So if someone pre-generates a strange file-format for you - it's almost as simple as my 5 year old nokia.

Or there's a 17 step process.

The way the iPhone handles it's ringtones is a step back from how most normal phones did. (// Note to American readers - if your carrier blocks a function - it means you have a bad carrier - not a bad phone)

The iPhone excelled in having a great browser. And looking gorgeous. As far as Phone parts go (crap reception/quality, struggles with group sms, ringtones, etc) it was a step backwards from most phones on the market. Now that might be an acceptable trade-off, but it still needs to be stated.


I've never bought or owned a cellphone in America. My only basis for comparison is previous phones in Taiwan and Japan.
