What's your cell phone's ringtone? What made you pick it?
Something that really winds me up is mobile ringtones. Aside from some dalliances with R2-D2 noises when I received text messages, and Basement Jaxx's Good Luck when taking calls, I've stuck to a simple "ring ring" ringtone wherever possible. The only problem is that Nokia have made that harder and harder as time has gone on. My 5100 had a fantastic "ring ring" tone which I've yet to find duplicated on later phones, which is a shame.
My phone should sound like a phone when it's ringing; sorry if that's old fashioned, but if I don't see the point in music announcing a call. We've been hard-wired to respond to "brrr brrr" as the notification for an incoming call, just like people knocking at your door or ringing a door bell means you need to go see who's there. Maybe I'm just too old school for my own good, and one day "ring ring" will be an anachronism I need to work out of my system in the same way I can't write text messages in txt spk!
I had intended to keep dumping stuff on Vox over the LugRadio Live weekend, but combinations of ninja duties, catching up with people and copious drinking left me completely incapable of configuring my Nokia N70 to email stuff to Vox. Oops.
