After 5 years being perfectly happy with no phone, I just got myself an iphone 4. I've had an Ipod touch for a couple of years now and based the iphone purchase on my ipod experience.
mistake.
Yeah I can call and text, but customising ringtones and any personalisation is ridiculous. So user unfriendly. I have an ungodly amount of welcome packs and manuals, but sadly no real instructions. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it, but whats wrong with telling me how to do stuff?
Anyhow, rant over

I text and call from my touch, I don't need a phone. TO much power for me to abuse :devil
-
Jailbreak it.

Droid x rooted with liberty 1.5 rom and the beast theme. Took me about 20 minutes to learn how to do it while waiting for the we gotta have an off hours arena whine to end.
Return your phone and get a real one :D

Apple has lots of guides for this kind of stuff, search on google or apple.com.
I can't get why you would want to 'personalize' your phone anyway. It functions perfectly as it is and fulfills its purpose. Did you buy it to play with the iOS4 or to call / use apps with it? If not the latter, just get yourself the iOS emulator its cheaper that way :)

odds are its trivially simple to do this, most new apple users overthink stuff because they are used to jumping through hoops to do even basic stuff in other OSes. just pretend you've never used a computer before and try the simplest, most obvious approach and you'll probably be right :aok

My father in law still calls me every time he takes the TV off of channel 3. In the past 20 years he has not figured out how to get the TV back to cable from VCR. I don;t think Sony sucks though.
Just saying. some people are better off using the smoke signals :old:

BlackBerry................... .

I can honestly say after having had an iPhone4 for over 6 months that I can't wait on the time to get rid of it and get a droid based phone. Hopefully I can get one of the new Tegra based droid phones when it hits AT&T early next month...having 2 phones in my wireless plan is great in that I have been with AT&T for so long that I don't have a contract anymore. I like their service all over the world but can't stand the fraggin IPHONE!!!!

I've had a 3GS for a little over 6 months, I got it right after the 4 came out and the price dropped.
Long battery life, bright screen, and user friendly.
No complaints here

2 use app to make 30 second audio clip
3 at the end of the process save to desktop
4 drag clip to ringtones section on itunes
5 resync
6 get frustrated coz for some reason the iphone won't put on more than one, or work at all
7 Go outside for a smoke

Yeah or you just could choose any song you like, convert it to AAC using one click on iTunes, locate song in question on harddrive using search, rename the song from .m4a to .m4r and iTunes will automatically move your song to your ringtones folder and sync it to your iphone.
Real hard.

Extremely hard, considering that the process should be:
1.-search audio file on your phone
2.-click on "use as ringtone"
3.-enjoy

it is. ripley was explaining how to use a song on your PC, transfer it, then select it on the phone.
I checked btw, settings -> sounds -> select which sound, then select which sound file. until someone introduces thought control I cant think of less clicks to do this.

That's how it's done on droid x. Get app (free) search ringtone, download, use as ringtone.

There's an app for that.
In fact, a dozen. Free and paid you choose.

Droid :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkIRL_ngZHI :rofl :rofl :rofl
Blackberry beats all on being a part of the domain at work (which is why EVERY office-worker who has a company-issued smart phone has a crackberry) But if that's not your concern...Droid. (One other cool thing about Droid, is the ability to use Google Earth maps to feed your gps for free (Droid OS was created by Google)---else, something like VZ Navigator is $10 a month)

It's always been free on iPhone also, standard in built in map application. Droid copied it from IOS.
-
Very cool, had no idea. Wonder if money had to change hands for that to happen?
One decided DOWN side of Crackberrys is PDAnet doesn't work without the tedious Crackberry software, works like a champ with Droid (Have no idea about Iphone)

Right here 's how the situation stands. I have 20+ .m4r files sat in my ringtones file all 30 seconds or less. So far only 1 is recognised on my iphone4. This is beyond stupid.As for mms alerts you have no chance, can't jailbreak the phone because with the latest os, you can't do it. Besides, should you have to hack a phone to make it work? I don't think so. Apple fanboi's only want to put their fingers in their ears and hum loudly when you tell them the OS is junk.

If apple spent half as much time developing their OS as they do worrying about DRM they'd have something. Where they have really shone is in the aftermarket accessory market.

If a customized ringtone is all you care about a phone then you really shouldn't pay premium for an Apple product. It's basic principle is it just works and you don't 'tweak' it just use it. Linux is for people who want to tinker around or even code new functions just to look cool. In reality nobody (especially the chicks) cares but whatever ... :D

I'm waiting for the new Sony Ericsson Xperia Play phone.
ack-ack

Soooooo not true! WebOS does a great job! Sadly Palm did a crap job on the hardware with the first few offerings. Thankfully HP has fixed that... too bad it took so long. IMHO WebOS is the best smart phone OS out there, just had some VERY VERY mediocre hardware and marketing.
