Re: Is it possible to set custom ringtones?
It is true that you do not need to copy them over to your device, but I STRONGLY advise that you do. Keeping them on your storage card means that once the phone receives an incoming call signal, it must wake up, access the SD card, load the ringtone from the card (which has a slower access speed than the internal storage), then play the ringtone. The delay could mean you have less time to answer a call.

Also, it has been reported that having ringtones on the storage card is linked to freezing, and this was the case on older devices like the Apache and Mogul. However, I'm not sure about the freezing issues on newer devices like the TP2.
