For two years now Apple has not added a single new ringtone or wallpaper to the iPhone. Is it just me or would anyone else like to see some fresh ringtones/wallpapers from Apple?

Apple needs to add all the features people want first then maybe new ringtones but it would be easy for them to add this but I want my mms, and copy and paste first.

I would love to be able to download some of the ringtone albums in itunes and not in essence have to pay for it twice.

I'm going off of what people have said I don't have an iphone to know it for myself.

I'm not big on using mp3 songs as ringtones, so yeah I would really like Apple's phone to come stock with new rintones.

I don't care about ringtones, or wallpapers...I can do those myself, I would like some new sms tones and new alerts that are user chosen. Currently the only alert you have a choice over is the sms tone, and unless your jailbroken you are stuck with their tones. Would like to see more choices there.

You can but you have to be jailbroken. I do not see why it is any different than ringtones. You should be able to make them...import them into iTunes, sync your phone and then choose. Probably harder to implement than it sounds, but it doesn't sound that hard.

I'm also with you on that one. Now because iPhones are becoming more popular and due to the small amount of message tones. You never know which phone is yours when they go off in meetings etc.

honestly, that shocked the heck out of me when i first realized that it couldnt be done. i was coming from a blackberry, and it was pretty configurable when it came to tones.

Why would they spend time creating something no one uses.

I don't really hear a lot of iPhone default ringtones. I only here the text-tones because those you can't change. Also, Mac users can make their own ringtones with GarageBand.

I have the default background up now because I recently got a new iPhone but before I had a different one every week.

People don't use those things.

So Im getting an iPhone in a few days but I need some better messaging tones. The standard ones are either beyond annoying or to unnoticeable. I dont mind paying for another message tone, is there a way to get some? I know you can make songs into ringtones but what about messaging tones?

Just give us new MSG tones. Only 3 options and they aren't great. When your with others that have iPhones everyone is checking their pocket all the time because they all have the same SMS tone.

I agree, I wish there are more MSG tone choices. For phone ringtones, I use "iToner" to make ringtones out of songs I have in my iTunes library...I use Blondie's "Call Me" as my ringtone :)
