Well, if you could use custom ringtones, you wouldn't be stuck with having to use iTune$...

I have an Iphone, that I got in America. You can email pictures and receive pictures via email with it. It doesn't have a Video camera built in.

are you really happy with the phone and would you recomend it? on cnet it got 8 stars and that STUPID ugly nokia n97 or w/e it is got like 9 stars.. but the iphone really appeals to me.... can you not use any program to have your own mp3 ringtones because i just read there was away of getting mp3's as ringtones??

I like the phone very much. If you have wireless internet access, it is fantastic. You can email using AOL or Google Mail. You get full Web Browsing although Java is not supported. You also can use You Tube. I found a piece of software today which allows me to convert Torrent files into Ipod Video files, so I can watch all my US tv shows on the way to work on my Iphone. You get Google Maps, and weather as well as an 8GB Ipod. The Ipod functionality is great. If I were you I would look at getting an unlocked US one rather than a UK one, as the 02 tarriffs are too expensive. There is a program that can add lots of third party apps to the Iphone called Ibrickr, but I am not sure if you can add MP3 ringtones. I shall check it out for you and let you know in a day or two.

The only downside for me is that if you are not near wireless access at home, then it uses Edge which compared to 3G is very slow. It is also very expensive. I have had to turn the Edge function off as it was costing loads on T Mobile.

Just did a Google, and it looks like you can add MP3's to Iphone. I will try it and report back ASAP.
