So do you have a custom Ringtone? If so, what is it? and How do you guys feel about custom ringtones, are they annoying, quirky, fun, stupid, et cetera///
A girl I'm dating downloaded me Soul Meets Body by Death Cab for my ringtone.
I recently heard somebody's cell phone just ring, and it sounded like I phone ringing, it almost freaked me out that a song didn't start playing. Anyways, that just sort of sparked this train of thought in my head. Cheers, Brian

annoying I really hate cell phones in public places, and I feel like if you are going to have the ringer on, at the very least you should have it on quietly. To me, custom ring tones are kind of a way to show off (yay, I'm unique), and if you are showing off, you aren't generaly putting your cell phone on soft/quiet/vibrate/etc. |

I don't. I don't know my cell phone actually works well enough to put a ringtone on it. That and I don't want to buy one b/c I'm cheap.
I'm not that big of a fan of cell phones in general. I only have one because it's infinitely better than a home phone (which I don't have), but still pretty annoying.

My current phone can't handle custom ringtones, but in a couple weeks I will be able to get a new phone and I already have a ring tone picked out:
The Protoman theme from Mega Man 3.
Best possible ringtone.

I hate ringtones, and any sound that comes from a phone that is not a ring. I don't know why. My phone doesn't leave vibrate, because I think it is annoying, and I enjoy it giving me the occassional hard on as well.

My last phone could handle em before it broke:
Wings of A Butterfly - HIM
Southside - Moby
and some other junk I had linked to people who didn't call me often enough to remember the actual song.
When that broke I switched back to my old Motorola, which is small enough to keep in the coin pocket of my jeans. I just keep it on Vibrate, since I go everywhere with it on me, including my job - which would fire me if it actually rang.

Beat ya to it. I've got a ton of other shit on there too. My pet peeve is people who get actual media clips as opposed to polyphonic rings. It immediately loses all novelty if you use actual music. Super lame. Generally mine plays Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence, with some occasional sidesteps for The Killers, Van Morrison, and Vanessa Carlton. |

Ha. That made me laugh. My phone also "just rings." Sometimes it just vibrates, like during school or Magical tournaments. |

I fucking hate custom ringtones, for one simple reason: I can't stand those annoying, goddamn ringtone commercials! I hate every single one of them and immediately change the channel when I see one. For a long time, those commercials kept me from buying a cellphone in the first place. I eventually got one because I didn't know what to ask for Christmas. If materialism and commercialism was a nation with an army, custom ringtones commercials would be their version of a nuclear bomb, I swear.

Ringtones were ever cool? QFT. I loathe cell phones. Matter of fact, I had to force myself to subdue the urge to beat the holy crap out of someone who had Cake's No Phone as their ringtone. And, before you get cute and ask, no, he wasn't being sarcastic or thought-provoking. He's just dumb. I don't hate cell phones for what they are as much as I hate them for the complete and utter lack of any etiquette that gets associated with a cell phone. It is not enough to simply turn it off during class or a movie. You need to not answer it when you are having a conversation unless you are expecting a very important (i.e., legal or life-threatening) call. Plus, anyone who starts a conversation with, "Where you at?" Needs to be f***ing slapped. My two cents. Harkius |

Book a dook a dook do do,
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring BANANAPHONE!
If my phone could support that, I'd have it. Right now I just have the hella-annoying MIDI Nokia ring which suits me just fine. If you're gonna piss people off with a ringtone anyway, mise well do it with the original!

FF7 victory fanfare, as heard on Advent Children.
I used to hate cellphones (and everything associated with them) but now, I never leave home without it. I don't even use it often, it just gives me peace of mind knowing that I can contact or be contacted by anyone at anytime.

The only mildly amusing ringotne I ever heard started with: "This is Nighthawk".
Mine is always on vibration btw.
