Im also curious how to add SMS. And where I can get SMS tones.

As far as I know, you can't really use customized sms tones yet, rather, you backup the original tones then put your own tone with the same name as the original. You can use fugu or winscp to transfer the files. As to the format of the files, I'm not quite sure, but I think in /System/Library/Audio all files have the extension of .caf. HTH.

on 1.0.2 just use ibrickr to add customized sms tone

run ibrickr
select sounds
select sms received (alert) select the file(mp3 or wav), click ok (ibirckr will automatically transcode it to .caf)
select sms received (in windows) select the file, click ok, exit ibrickr
then restart iphone

on 1.1.2 first same as 1.0.2 (but it will only replace the sms tone (in-windows))
second use iphonelist or iphonebrowser
navigate /System/Library/Audio/UISounds
copy "sms-received.caf" (that's the file ibrickr replaced)
(you will notice there are also sms-received1.caf,sms-received2.caf up to 6 -- these are the stock sms tones)
rename the copied file to sms-received1 or sms-received2 up to 6(i renamed it to sms-received6and the "electronic" stock tone was replaced)
drag/upload the renamed file to the sames directory
exit iphonelist or iphonebrowser
restart iphone

check general-->sounds-->new text message to preview the customized tone

i tried following your instruction (1.1.2) but no sms-received.caf created...

on a mac, there's a good work around using garageband and have it create an sms tone

That is good only for caller ringtone, not for SMS alert tone.
