Unconfirmed reports are flooding in that Jamie Conway was seen punching
various keys on their keyboard and produced the following:
|| I think the actual reason is the number of "instruments" in the midi

|| file.

True, the 6610 and various other series 40 phones only support 4 channel
polyphony (what you refered to as 4 instruments is in fact 4 notes being
played at the same time, you can't have a piano playing a five note chord
for example, it'll only play 4 of the notes).  However, if you upload a
ringtone with more than 4 channels the phone will automatically play the 1st
4 only.

I think the SF-Midi instructions, which tells the phone which channels and
how many notes to play, is corrupted and the phone can't read it to play it.
