Using iphone ringtones on the blackberry

I have the Blackberry 8310 and I love it. I refuse to submit to the iphone on the general rule that I avoid fanboyism at all costs, despite the fact the iPhone cant do what my blackberry does right now. Recently I have been having a marvelous time in the morning, on the quiet train, getting all the iPhone owners to expose themselves when they hear the exciting and distinctive iPhone ringtone that could be their next incoming call. :)
Its easy to put the iPhone ringtones on your Blackberry, and here's how you do it.

First, get the ringtone. There's a posting here that has the one from the commercial. You can download it, unzip it and rename the 32K .m4r file to an .mp3 file. Then, either with the data cable or with your browser, save it to the ringtones directory and go change your ringtone. done.

The other location where you'll find all the iPhone ringtones, is on an iPhone, of course. Its located in the '/Library/Ringtones' folder. Connect your iPhone to your mac and use the Terminal application to get in there through the /Volumes mount point.

The method of getting it with your blackberry internet browser involves copying the file up to a website (presumably yours) and typing in the full url to where the file has been placed in the website. the blackberry internet browser will download it and automatically suggest that you place it into your ringtones.
