Turn off ascending ringtone?

[luke strawwalker]

I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE the STUPID ascending ringtone on this new phone... HOW can I turn this off so the ringtone starts off at the currently set volume? This is a SERIOUS issue for anybody like me working in loud environments around machinery or outdoors. I can't find any way to turn this off.

Might be a "good" feature working in an office or library, but for the other 3/4 of the world it's just a royal pain the backside...

Thanks! OL J R
