from what i gather, this feature is disabled on some units due to copyright issues (right or wrong, thats another debate).

Possibly the labels give Verizon a better deal on ringtones if they choose to disable Mp3 ringtones?

Perhaps they chose to do it themselves to prevent users from getting free ringtones?

Sounds like you are stuck though...
