I wouldn't be surprised if they force you to use their vcast thing to  
get/purchase music. Dale's razr supports custom ringtones and mp3s  
but without the hack I did she wouldn't be able to do that without  
getting them through Verizon's service. They really -REALLY- like to  
lock you out of the phone as much as possible it seems.

This website has the most/best information I could find:

You don't have to load new firmware, just trick the software into  
thinking you have a phone from another carrier and then it will give  
you access to load stuff up where verizon doesn't want you to (but  
the phone does).
