I'm using the theme from Laputa (aka Castle in the Sky) by Azumi Inoue.

Good old "Bee" standard ringtone on Nokia phones... who needs fancy ringtones when all you need is a ring ring

Well spoken AgentMil!

When it starts ringing I try to turn off the noise as fast as possible - no need for nice melodies

<-- Minimalist - I got the standard "ring ring".

Minimalist -haww (so hard to express sarcasm in these short remarks!)

90% of the time on flash/buzz - then 10% - single ring

I have a chronically irritating selection of random notes played for a random duration (very slow bpm). I study peoples faces when it starts grating away.

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night

I use "low" on my good old Nokia 6150. Less annoying than the standard ring tone.

I just got an email from a buddy who set his up to send the caller's initials in morse code (for those in
his contact list)

I don't have a mobile phone. (It can be a real pain at times, especially if you're relying on public transport and want to picked up by somebody at some point, but apart from that, I can actually live without one.)

I bought my phone specifically so I could program polyphonic ringtones, but I haven't yet figured out how to send my custom-made ringers to the phone! All I can do is download premade ones from the web.

Right now it's a poor rendition of some Super Nintendo game theme song (Chrono Trigger woooo!), so 95% of the time my phone is on silent, since I'm too embarrassed to let the ringer go off in public. It's funny how poorly my plans worked out.

I've been always using standard ringtones... but past month I purchased a new
one and I decided to put a melody...

As I don't found it nowhere my last option was doing it myself (what an oddisey, last time in my life)
The producto:

"Gelk" from Autechre.

B-)

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in the world with this tune!


b:.

Don't have one. And never will

Their speech codec sucks anyway

Right now I have a ringtone of Black Sabbath's Paranoid.

I'm a bit like you but I didn't even realise my Nokia 6610 had polyphonic ringtones, was a nice surprise when I found out.
I found a lot of the downloadable ones weren't that great (maybe it was just the quality of the preview mp3's) so I'm just using one that came with the phone called 'Mountain'. It's actually a piece of music used all the time in movies, usually thrillers to signify danger.
I'm a bit like some of you, I always had my old phone on vibrate only but some of these polyphonic ringtones just sound too good.

If you have an infrared port (probably need a laptop for that), the included software on the CD will convert .MID files and send it to your mobile

Single beep along with vibrate. No ring, ever.

ring tone: Always look on the bright side of life by Monty Python

sms message tone: Looney Tunes..... it's very useful to have something different than the default beep-beep that's in all Nokia phones if you are living here in Nokialand. Especially in a crowded metro or rush hour bus. 40 people checking their mobiles after a beep-beep, like a scene from Charlie Chaplin.

Still: vibra is the king!

Long story: after a day or research, I found all the tools needed to compose ringtones for the Samsung S105. I converted some .midi's to the proper format, made a WAP webpage for my phone to access, and tried downloading the tones with the phone's WAP browser. For some bizarre reason, the filetransfers couldn't complete. I'd tweak the WAP page a bit, re-upload it, reconnect my phone to the web (the connection took about 5 minutes to establish, because the phone couldn't get a carrier signal more than 10% of the time), and try downloading the file again. But the phone kept giving bizarre error messages, so I gave up. Maybe I needed to muck with the server's MIME types, I don't know, but I didn't feel like learning remote server administration, so I gave up on that approach.

Then, I found a friend with a laptop (with an infrared port). But we couldn't find the laptop's external floppy drive, so I had to burn a few CD-R's to get all the programs copied to the laptop (whose internal CD-drive was only detecting inserted CD's 1/4th of the time). Then, after installing the 26MB Samsung filetransfer software (which didn't come on a CD, but was hosted on some obscure, disconnect-prone site linked by a mobile-phone forum), it wouldn't run on the laptop (asking for newer .dll versions)! I guess Win98SE isn't good enough for Samsung!

At that point, I threw up my hands and gave up on ringtones. My dreams are still the same, though: "Tool - The Grudge" opening for my ringtone, and the "new item" sound effect from Super Metroid for my SMS message alert.

Ringtones galore!

Currently I'm using Dearly Beloved off the Kingdom Hearts OST, either that or Youngwon from FinKL. Took me around half an hour each to convert from the original MIDI though...

Here's a rant... to those considering buying polyphonic-enabled phones, please DO NOT get those with only 4 note support. Most MIDIs have way more than that, and as a result, incredible time needs to be spent trimming / removing instruments ... just to get the file to play on your phone.


So be forewarned!

Don't even have one, but if I do get one later on, I'll most likely use standard beeps... Ring signal music ain't pretty and polyphonetic phones in Europe aren't even close to advancement of the Japanese market with a minimum of 64 channels for even the cheapest phones. Our most expensive polyphonetic phones only have max 24-32 channels or so... Pity that we're such a long way behind Japan... Although we're lightyears ahead of the Americans who barely have GSM... Makes you laugh real hard...

Har har har... I'm laughing at those Japanese kids who spend a month composing a symphony on their 256-note polyphonic phone.

I think the phones can now store digital audio, not just MIDI sequences. Isn't that going to sound awful on the typical phone speaker? I mean, the sound out of the phone's gonna sound cheesy no matter what, so why not have the music sound cheesy too? That's why I think all ringtones should be derived from 80's dance music.
