You can create your own ringtones on the Pocket PC with two tools only, mPhone ( http://www.mobem.com ) and Smart GSM ( http://www.smartsoftworks.com/download/ ). Unfortunately, they are only able to create simple, monophonic ringtones. The latter is able to upload/play polyphonic ringtones, however:

"This [Ringtones] section is used for the creation of simple ringtones and then sending it to the mobile phone via the infrared port or SMS message through a mobile network. Polyphonic
ringing tones are supported by smartGSM, they can only be played-back or uploaded to the
connected phone but not edited. Playing polyphonic ringing tones in smartGSM requires the
‘Instruments for playback polyphonic MIDI files’ feature that is a part of the application
installation process."

So, to create polyphonic ringtones, you'll need to resort to desktop-based tools.

Well, you can also import WAV files from your desktop, where you can, for example, rip them straight from your favourite CD's.

There're tons of different types of mobile phones with vastly different capabilities. Some only play monophonic, some also polyphonic, standard MIDI's; some also play WAV/MP3 files etc. Check out http://howardforums.com/ on them - thats prolly the best mobile phone-related forum.
