Did it break the 3rd party ringtone solutions? It is shameful that you
cant easily import decent ringtones into this phone.

Oh, yes, shameful. I would be crushed if I had not
had the opportunity to listen to the same six measures
of the William Tell Overture for two minutes several
times a day on the phone of someone who's never at her desk.

It is shameful. The charge 600 fucking dollars for the thing but you
can only use the Steve Jobs approved ringtones. People say Microsoft is
totalitarian? Mmmmm, that Apple Kool Aid tastes good!

You really are a fucking moron. Ringtones are coming to a theatre near
you. There's a pecking order of importance you stupid ass.

Why should I have to rely on some third party hack to add a ringtone to
my $600 phone? Especially because who knows if Apple will create an
update that will screw it up.
Art Vandelay
Any you know that how? Steve Jobs himself told you? Or you have a
cousin whose friend knows someone who works for Apple? Talk about a
fucking moron. Keep sippin' the Kool Aid!

I can understand your concern - seems Apple should allow different ring
tones. Those hardly could be seen as a security risk.

People do like to personalize their phones with ring tones. Would be nice
if the iPhone 2 had more flexibility in this area.

A more easily replaced battery should be pretty high on the list, too.

Hmmm, I have known a few people who have had to - I wonder how common it is.
If it is something that is pretty rare than I may stand corrected on this.

Your "common sense" statement is so stupid, I dont even know where to
start. The iPhone is totally closed and locked down. You're at Apple's
mercy, so nothing is "common sense." Its whatever whim Jobs decides to
indulge.

Not the point. Users should have the ability to do something as basic
as add ringtones. Every other phone on the market allows it, but not
Apple.

Nice argument. You really put me in my place. What a staggering intellect.

And common sense dictates that something so obvious will be addressed.
What the fuck aren't you getting here, dumbfuck?
Speaking of stupid - what are we supposed to thing about the little worm
that sits around trolling in Macintosh groups to get his jollies. You're
