Does anyone know where the new SMS tone sound strings for the iPhone 4 are? They aren't in Sounds.string. A lot of them are too long and are perfect to use for custom replacement tones. I would love to be able to edit the names.

If you aren't sure what I'm talking about, check out this modmyi thread.
 
I'd be happy just knowing the location of the 14 or so new sms tones. They're not in /System/Library/Audio/UISounds I think.
They're there.

[UPDATE]

They can be found in:

/System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBookUI.framework/your_language.lproj/AB.strings

I used iFile to change the name in the Property List Viewer (much easier to read).
You can alternatively edit the actual text using the text viewer.

Ex. "texttone:Anticipate" = "Anticipate";

change to:

"texttone:Anticipate" = "Mac Startup"

Result:

[UPDATE 2]

iOS 5 now includes SMS tone customization. They can be added to iTunes as Ringtones.
