Ringtones without selling (much of) your soul...

I installed a little app named CallFilter For Treo 600 1.1 (available on PalmGear.com) that allows you to set filters for people/area codes/company names etc. to do specific things, such as play an MP3 you have on your SD card or go straight to voicemail. [NOTE:Optionally plays MP3s for your Ring-Tone (requires Pocket-Tunes V2.1 or greater)but if you registered your Treo600 with Handspring, you had the option of getting this app for free... and Pocket Tunes kicks some serious hiney, go get it NOW.] For example, I have most calls playing an archaic bell telephone sound. Phone numbers that aren't in my contacts play "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K" (from Bill&Ted) And I have a special ringtones for special people... mostly ones that have their names in them, or are their voices talking to me. Its fun. At $29.95, its a bit steep for a palm app, and frankly the GUI could be a bit cleaner, but you aren't a slave to da AT&T man for midi tones and MP3's are so much more easily created.
