    I have this one

    Samsung_D807_large.jpg

    Whenever people from the internet call me it plays Fucking in the Bushes by Oasis.
    For everyone else it's Yakkety Sax

    My current text-message tone is the sound you hear on this thing

    I get strange looks sometimes.

    And yes, my friend's phone plays yakkety sax... hilarity always ensues.

    I just bought the cingular 8525

    It's fuckin sweet.

    And I set this(may be nsfw for language) as my text message tone. It was great when my gf and I were at breakfast the other day. All the blue hairs at Denny's gave us a dirty look.

    Some of the Samsung sliders are pretty nice.

    Samsung phones in general are pretty decent.

    It really depends what you want to do with it.

    Like I was saying.. Nokia e65 is a good slider... but I'm naturally biased towards it :P

    The 6288 is ok, but a bit too clunky imo... and it seems a little flimsy... the new Samsung slide phone is nice too.

    I was just at a school performance, and I'd grabbed my phone in a rush as I was leaving the house so it wasn't on silent, and it rang during a very, very solemn vocal and flute ensemble. Guess what my ringtone is?

    >_<

    Hi5. I'd have left it running, much hilarity would've ensued.

    Friends and I walked into a McDonald's once with his phone playing Yakkety in his back pocket. He has he full 4 minute version, so we managed to walk in, order, purchase and walk out with the thing playing the whole time.

    dudes I was actually thinking about making this thread because today I laid down a wad of fat cash and came home with this baby

    Holy balls this is an awesome phone.

    GPS, 5mp camera, 2 gig sd card, in built stereo speakers, plain usb 2 connection. The double slider is so fantastically cool feeling and it sounds sooo good.

    I've been rocking bananaphone for my general ringtone for about 6 months and it always gets a giggle. Also when I get a text, you hear Brick say "LOUD NOISES"
    My dad's ring tone is the main theme from the musical version of War of the Worlds and his text alert is OOOOOOOOLLLLAAAAAAAHHHHH

    I got my cell a little over a month ago. My previous was the LG VX3200 which didn't have a camera or downloads or anything. I was happy but eventually it just stopped preforming as it should so I took that "after 2 years you can trade-up while renewing your contract" deal with Verizon and got a Samsung SCH-u540. So far it's very nice. I've become one of those douche-bags that wears his bluetooth headset in the car all the time or while I'm at my computer I can have it in my ear so I don't have to cradle the skinny little phone.

    I ordered a tried to buy a microSD card online but accidentally got a miniSD which is too big and doesn't fit the slot so I'm returning it and trying again. As of now I have only tested the music feature from my friend's card which loaded no-problem into my phone.

    This is also my first-ever camera-phone and it also takes video. I don't intend to use it as if it were a real camera but now I know if I see something cool I can document it for later. Overall I really like joining the 21st century.

    This would be a great phone if only Verizon didn't hamstring it. I really hate Verizon at this point. I've been a loyal customer for about a decade now and over the last couple of years they seem to have increasingly adopted a "fuck you" model of customer service. Love the phone, hate the carrier.

    I agree that their network is reliable, that's the only reason I've stayed with them for the last couple of years though because I'm increasingly pissed off with how I already pay a little more than I would with most other carriers and the company still nickels and dimes me to death over shit like messaging or d/l songs on their fucking vcast service. Why the fuck should it use air time when I'm essentially shopping their storefront to buy music from them that's already twice the price of most other mp3 stores? And charging the same price ($2) for a fucking ringtone? I'm paying the same amount for a snippet from a song as I would for the entire song?
    But mainly it's how the customer service seems to have changed. In the past I felt confident that if there seemed to be a problem with my bill that I could work it out with Verizon. That we could reach a reasonable compromise. Now their attitude seems to be that they're going to bend me over the table and fuck me in the ass, oh and there's an extra fee for lube. Last time I called them about some billing concerns the rep was unapologetic and completely unwilling to compromise at all so fuck you Verizon, when my contract is up I'm bailing.

    Yeah, this is another big gripe I have with Verizon. They hamstring their devices to try and drive customers to pay for extra content through them instead of making it relatively easy for customers to get other content onto their phones.

    I just bought a new one and it is a very nice phone but I've never had a very nice phone before and as such have no idea what to do with it

    it's an ''lg vx8600''

    I don't even know what that means

    basically what I am asking here is how do I get songs from my computer to my phone without having to buy the thirty dollar ''music package'' the guy at the kiosk in the mall was trying to sell me

    I haves to have my humps my humps my lovely lady lumps as my ringtone

    come hell or high water

    god willing and the creek don't rise

    How high's the water mama?

    It's four feet high, and rising.

    How high's the water mama?

    I said it's four feet high and rising.







    Yeah, erm, anyway...

    I have a Treo 700wx, with a Sprint SERO plan. For thirty bucks a month I get 500 minutes, unlimited data, free nights and weekends starting 7pm, free roaming on voice and data (Sprint's coverage isn't as good as Verizon's, you say? Well, then I'll just use the Verizon towers, and still pay my cheaper Sprint bill), and a few other nifty things. I also have 500 text messages per month tacked on to my account, free, because I asked Sprint very nicely.

    If anyone else is interested in getting the Sprint SERO plan, PM me, and I'll help you out. It IS open to the public, but you have to know the secret way to order it (they don't advertize it outright, because it would canibalize their other sales.) There are other SERO plans with more minutes, with equally ridiculously low fees, and ALL of them include the unlimited data (that means internet) at no extra charge.

    Hey Whippy, in case you haven't already you'll want to get a microSD card for your phone. The phone has a small amount of memory on its own so you'll want to expand that with a card. I'd recommend verifying with the manufacturer what size microSD card it supports (I know they currently go up to at least 2 gigs but my phone only supports 1 gig). Also get a usb microSD adapter so you can plug your card into your comp and copy music directly to it instead of going through fucking Verizon who will rape you and also has a shitty library of music. Keep in mind though that you'll need to have the music in wmp format and synch it to the card using WMP 10 or later.

    man why is there confusion about getting ringones onto phones
    use bluetooth or usb cables come on

    its like the questions older relatives ask about computers and then you have to go over and spend 5 hours teaching them how to do something outlandish like play a cd on their brand new computer that they spent $3000 on so that they can send an email to someone overseas once a week or so and just leave it switched off in the study the rest of the time while your old computer keeps you up at night with its loud fans and hard disks that occasionally make a loud grinding noise because they are about to die but you cant afford a new one and cant turn off the computer because you are trying to download some new game demo in the hopes that it will run at all and at the same time defrag or run some long process that is taking forever because you only have 128mb of ram plus an extra 16mb that you salvaged from the last computer you bought
