How many ringtones can I store in my mobile cell-phone?

The mobile phones built earlier with just memory slot have a limited memory space and every time a ringtone was downloaded, the earlier ringtone would have to be erased or replaced with the new one.
Most of the older mobile phones, especially from Nokia, were built with only one memory slot which could be used for storing small length customizable ringtones. The latest models from Nokia have up to five memory slots. The latest models from Nokia supports 64 ringtones that it can store! These can be both fixed ,included on the phone from the manufacturer ,and variable ,space for downloaded or composed ringtones.
