what I don't understand is why they won't let you do custom text message notifications. I had to change my text message notification sound from the "bloo-oop" sound to the ding, but still pretty common.
Nor separate sounds for various email accounts. That drives me nuts. Since I have to put in a passcode pretty much every time I pick up the thing just to see if I've got mail, and the mail envelop doesn't indicate a difference in email accounts...it's the ONE thing I really miss from my old Treo.
I used Weird Al's White and Nerdy. Until it rang on the bus, where I was one of the only white people, so I was embarrassed and changed it.
Please tell me you changed to Pretty Fly for a White Guy.
One of the developers here has a child's laugh as his ringtone. I have no idea if it's his kid, but it makes me smile every time it goes off.
I debate switching my ring profile to something less geeky for work, but it doesn't ring often, and unlike everyone else in my teams, I don't bring it into meetings.
Besides, I like the confidence of knowing that when it rings, that's
my
phone. No default ringtones for me--not even any ringtones off the phone's menu.
What is your ringtone?
"Future Proof," by Massive Attack.
Not being embarassed if it went off inappropriately was a key factor in my song choice. Edit: I mean, because I would be embarassed enough at the inappropriate phone-ringing, so I needed to make sure the ring itself wouldn't make things worse.
Our HR guy's personal phone ringtone is an old school sonar ping. Everyone knows his phone is ringing.
I switch between the Addam's Family and the Man From UNCLE. My blackberry - which is employer provided - is Suicide is Painless (it's never good news when it rings)
I still need to figure out how to get custom ringtones on my BlackBerry. Or I could wait until May and get a new phone.
Ailleann had to walk me through making and uploading the Panic! ringtone to my phone. I couldn't do it again by myself if my life depended on it.
What is your ringtone?
It's been
Margaritaville
forever. I really think I need to change it one of these days. I let my daughter choose that one.
Mine is "Who Are You" by The Who.
