Following several articles that have been written about being cautious for FREE ringtone downloads and the need to check out the fineprints,  one user decided to post his story on the internet and invite the rest with similiar experiences to join in the community.

On a personal level, this is quite alarming because I was about to do a advertising for Jamster.  Do check the forum and I will investigate too.

Exclusively from Akihabaranews, this Concept Phone from Korean Sky will put Motorola V3 into historical references.  It looks super slick, with the emitting blue phone pad looking like the cellular phone from the future.  The numberpad looks like my sony vaio keyboard, which means it will give you the umpphhhhh feeling when you press on it. What a teaser !

The history of the cell phone ringtone explosion all stared with the now famous (or infamous, depending on the observer) Nokia ringtone which is a thirteen note rendition of the 19th century Spanish musician, Francisco Tarrega’s ‘Gran Vals’.

The very first ringtones, of course, were monophonic meaning that only one note at a time is heard. These ring tones tend to sound like elevator music, but worse. Then again, the novelty of being able to set our cell phones to ring with a recognizable tune was innovative enough to hold the attention of most of us.

Around the early years of ringtone technology there were built in ring tone composer programs that allowed users to create and input custom tunes to their cell phones. This, however, did not take off and was soon discarded.

In 2002 the first  polyphonic ringtones  came out and represented a major milestone for cell phone ringtone technology. This feat was first accomplished by Nokia. The Nokia 3510 was the very first phone capable of playing polyphonic ring tones. Very soon thereafter, the other major cell phone companies came out with their own versions of this polyphonic technology.

MP3 Ringtones are great because even though they lack that retro je ne sais quoi, well, you can actually tell what song they’re supposed to be. Then again, what’s so great about removing the fun of guessing which song the muzak-like ringtone symbolizes? I for one sort of enjoy that guessing game.

Now it’s a completely different story when it comes to a song I really like and respect. I suppose then it is a question of proper reverence. It just doesn’t sound right to hear Beethoven in midi format. I mean how many times can you hear ‘Ode to Joy’ with only a fraction of the orchestral magic that the tune requires intact?

So maybe MP3 Ringtones have a place in today’s fast paced and thoroughly wired world. If nothing else it sure makes using custom rings (what people hear that call your number) that much more fun. After all, half the fun of choosing special call tones for each person that calls you to hear is being able to meta-say something with the lyrics of the chosen song.

Just ‘how free’ are free ringtones? Well, it really depends on your definition of the word ‘free’. For most people it means ‘no charge’ and there are few exceptions to the definition. However, there are so many ‘free ringtones’ websites out there that just plain are not free, yet no one seems to be doing anything about it. Oh I know that the cell phone companies are doing their best to combat this cell phone download site type of spam / scammers, but the average person who is taken by one of these so-called ringtone+sites" rel="tag">free ringtone sites just lets it slide, thus encouraging these bogus sites.

How does it work?
