[quote name=\'phvHounds2010\' post=\'238323\' date=\'Mar 26 2010, 10:36 PM\']Pretty much any phone can be customized. I cut my MP3s in Audacity then email them to my phone. <Phone Number>@vzwpix.com, then save the sound file as a ringtone. This is on my ENV2 though. Dunno if other phones work differently.[/quote]
Yes, they do. I have a u550. I got an unsupported attachment error when I tried saving an MP3 as a ringtone. It was worth a try. Thanks.

...try renaming the file extension to .mid. Also it sounds like you really want to mix the ringtone down to be as small of a file as you can tolerate.

Looks like it's still a crapshoot, but several people reported success with those methods.

No success. I'm not concerned as I'm upgrading to a new phone in the very near future. Thanks anyhow, Chris.

No worries, sir. Worth a shot.

My text message ringtone is the Penny Ante sound from Price is Right/Joker's Wild.

My regular ringtone is the Now You See It theme.

The ringer on my Verizon Razr is the 1960s "To Tell the Truth" theme.

Distinctive, but still very pleasant... :^)

I have the HTC Eris through Verizon.

Ringtones: Cliffhangers yodel, Match Game

Notifications: MRRRP for appointments, TPIR Ding for sports score updates. I have the losing horns, just not using them yet.

I love the Driod.

What are you using for scores, Google Scoreboard? If so, is it as laggy for you as it is for me? I'll get the Period Is Starting notification eight minutes in, sometimes.

At least y'all have this capability. I have a crappy RAZR with US Cellular and don't have the slightest clue how to download my own. I've had friends send me a scant few ringtones before, but that's it.

visualbasicwizard · « **Reply #39 on:** March 29, 2010, 08:04:41 AM »

Yep, the Google scoreboard. It is a bit laggy, but it's not bad when I'm at work and can't watch the game.

It's a shame that there won't be a Game Show Congress... I would love to hear what would happen if you sent a mass text message to all of the participants.

The sound of my phone bill going up.

I used to think that. I realized about eight months ago that I really do use my phone more as a data device than I do an actual call-making device, even though I dropped my landline when I moved in December and it's my primary phone now. So I shopped appropriately, and as a result, Android uber alles. I figure it will carry me nicely through a year and then I can take a good hard look at Windows Phone when it ships.

(My point, I suppose, is that if you're getting on the "I use my phone to make calls and nothing else" kick, take a good hard look at texting habits and such and see if that's really the case, 'cuz it might not be. (And if it is, hey, bully.))

After having the same cell phone for about 5 years, I upgraded to an LG VX5500. It has a camera and...that's about it. I'm sure it can do a bunch of stuff, but I have no desire to pay through the nose for it, and have no desire to pay $5/month when I may text about $20 worth in a year.

I'll concede to choosing the phone because of the camera, but yeah. The phone is a phone and will stay a phone until it seems reasonable to do otherwise.
