Setting the (ring)tone

Setting the ringtone for all callers on a phone should be simple, right?
.
Let’s see how you do this on a BlackBerry Pearl:

Select Applications
Select Profiles
Select Advanced
Select Normal
Select Phone
Select Tone
Scroll to pick the ringtone
Select ringtone

And now, how to do the same thing on the iPhone:

Go to the home screen
Select Settings
Select Sounds
Select Ringtone
Scroll to pick the ringtone
Select ringtone

The iPhone version is much simpler. Not because there are less steps, but the actual steps make sense. For the BlackBerry, why is the ringtone set under Profiles? Why is it an advanced option?

The iPhone method I can remember without having to think about it. The setting is where I expect it to be. The BlackBerry method confuses me every time.

If you search for setting the ringtone for each of these phones in google, you will see twice as many hits for the BlackBerry. The iPhone hits are mainly for setting custom ringtones for each contact.

When you create a navigation system on your website, does it make sense? Does it make sense to your users?
