I really hate awful ringtones. The ones that come with your phone I believe are terrible, and I think they are purposely bad to make you spend money on the provider’s tones.

I’ll add this to my profile as well, but this is a link to my iTunes iMix. I’ll keep it reseasonably well updated, but don’t get your hopes up.
