My ring tone came out sounding exactly like the download when played on my computer. It may depend on whether or not your phone supports polyphonic or the newer music ring tones. If it is monophonic tones only, it may come out garbled. Get one of the newer "smart phones". I was able to download all 843 business and personal contacts from my MS Outlook folder into my phone in about 3 minutes. It also downloads the calendar from Outlook also. Basically replaced the PDA for me.
