Help ?
It's easy to program almost any tune into your Nokia mobile phone (and others too probably). Each note in the tune is written as a group of three characters. The first character is the length of the note, the second is the pitch and the third is the "octave". Sharps are just sharps.

So 4e2 is a short E note, and 8e2 is a shorter E note. 8e3 is the same length but an octave higher. 8#f1 is a short F-sharp.

Once you get the hang of it it's easy!

Follow the phone's menus and find the ringtone composer section. The notes are keyed in using the normal keypad but you have to imagine that the keys have been relabelled as follows:

Normal keypad       Notes keypad
1 2 3              c d e
4 5 6              f g a
7 8 9              b - +
* 0 #             123 - #

So if you want the note 'F' you press key 4, and to make it longer press 9. Key 0 gives a pause, key * changes the octave, and # makes the note sharp.

Good luck, and if you get really stuck, don't forget that you can always read the phone's instruction manual!
