So I just spent some time fine-tuning my latest GMIDI ringtone creation and as I wait for it to beam over to my phone, I thought I'd find out what all youse are listening to everytime someone calls you.
Right now, I'm replacing the opening of "Layla" with part of "Illuminations: Reflections of Earth". If you've been to Epcot in Walt Disney World in the past seven years or so, it's the music from the nightly fireworks spectacular.
So, anyway...what's on your phone?? And who else writes/edits their own tones?

Although it's more of an electronic ring. When I don't feel like having it set to that, it goes on vibrate mode. When working in the professional workforce and someone calls you during a meeting it's best to have a ringtone that you don't have to explain.

Very true. That's usually how my phone is set. I only let it go ringy-ring when it's the weekend or something. You can't go wrong with vibrate.

I have the ringer from "24" on my phone. Simple and not overly annoying. I have them both set to vibrate then ring so I usually get to it before the ringing starts. I really don't like all the "kitschy" ringers. It seems like a whole "hey look at me! I have a neat ringer and you don't. Nah Nah!" No offense though.

Just got a Treo, so I suppose I can now edit my own ringtones. Funny thing is, I tend to stick with plain-old phone ringers--musical ringtones annoy me for some reason.
Niiiiiiiiiice! For a while I was trying to create an arrangement of "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life", but I couldn never get it to sound right.

See, I was like that for awhile, but now I find that plain-old phone ringers are annoying and musical ring tones are fresh. I suppose a few months from now I'll have switched back around, lol.

What annoys me is when you are using public transport and the prat next to you has just bought a new phone and they listen to all the ring tones before they choose one whilst they are on the bus. Then its me who gets into trouble for banging his head against the window.
Less is more. Unless you're standing next to the one with more. Then less just looks pathetic.
my ringtone neither impresses nor annoys people, but I often see smily faces when it rings. While the previous tone which sounded "like a telephone" DID annoy people .
