I tried everything, but as far as I could tell, VZW has completely locked
this down so the only way you can download a ringtone is to pay for their
service. I finally ran a cable from the audio out on my computer to the
headset input on the phone and loaded a sound clip that way, which I was
then able to use as a ringtone. It gets converted to analog and then
re-encoded, but on the phone's tiny little speaker, the loss of quality
isn't really noticeable.
