I do understand the distinction between plain old ringtones (which you pick yourself) and "caller tunes" as Tmobile is calling them (which the caller picks). My stance is the same. I personally could care less about ringtones or caller tunes. I won't be buying any, and if other buy caller tunes so that my phone will ring with that tune when they call me, I don't care one way or another. As long as I can hear the tone and receive it, the ring is pretty inconsequential. I think you're right thought that Tmobile is trying to appeal to the teen/early20's market. Most of their advertising caters to this market. Unfortunately there are instances where they refuse to consider anyone outside of this market. This was the case with the Sidekick. For over a year, users were clamoring for outlook synch capability for the phone, and it finally came out on another provider, so the software was available but Tmobile basically said that they had no plans to offer it. This is probably because they figured their target market for the device (but in fact by far not the only ones who bought the phone for its advanced functionality, especially in its first year or so) would not care about this functionality. They eventually offered this capability, but by then I and many others had finally had enough of getting ignored by Tmobile and switched to a Treo 600 or something similar. Contractual issues prevented me from switching providers, but that may change in the future...
