How to Download Ringtones to a Blackberry Curve
Personalized ringtones make your BlackBerry Curve uniquely yours. The BlackBerry Curve, like the latest smartphones on the market, allows you to use nearly any music file as a ringtone. Although you can always download ringtones from your mobile service provider's website, it's free to download the music files from your computer to your BlackBerry Curve. Research in Motion, the manufacturer of the BlackBerry, also makes a companion program, the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, to make the downloading process more convenient

Tips & Warnings
Be discriminating when choosing which ringtones to add to your BlackBerry Curve. The reason is that music files take up more memory space than some other file types. Too much used memory space can slow down the processing speed of your BlackBerry Curve. If you notice that your BlackBerry Curve suddenly starts working slowly, consider removing some of the least used ringtones stored on the device.
