Thanks, Noetic, I'll keep it in mind and will let you know if and when I want one.

I have a Motorola C350 on Vodafone and a Samsung SGH-E330 on O2, and I can make ringtones on both. The Samsung is the best for making ringtones because its got an FM Synthesizer.

Which phones do you all have?

I have a mobile but I don't have a landline in my flat. It's a Nokia. I chose a polyphonic ringtone called "Fantasie" in its gallery: it's actually Chopin's Impromptu Piano Fantasie in C# minor.

My dad's programmed his mobile so that it will play a different tune for different members of the family. For me he chose the Cat from Peter and the Wolf (as he plays the clarinet it has a personal significance for him); the other family members are represented by some of Schubert's Lieder. I suggested that he extend the Schubert theme by having me represented by Heidenröslein, as I'm the rose between two thorns (meaning I have an older and a younger brother).

I've often thought it would be cool if my mobile would play a different ringtone depending on the type of call. So if it were chit-chat it would play the Tritsch-Tratsch Polka and if it were something serious it would play Dies Irae from Mozart's Requiem.

What are your favourite tunes of all time?

Not all tunes will sound good transposed to a mobile-phone jingle. Allegri's Miserere, oh God, please no!

I don't have one either because they can be a bit expensive.

I have a Sony Ericsson V600i. Before that, I had the phone Maria (my girlfriend) has, Nokia 6600 - probably Nokia's best color phone ever.

My default tone is 愛情當入樽 by Twins but Maria has Delta Goodrem's 'Butterfly', as that was the first song I dedicated to her.

Not too sure about favourite but the default Nokia Tune is so bloody irritating. Someone I know turned that into a full blown 7 minute trance song!!

I have a blackberry which I use mostly for the mobile internet. Also it serves as my main phone line. Although I rarely talk on the phone the number is useful for important calls, emergencies, and times when I'm on the go.

No cell here.  I loathe the things. Well, not the actual phones, but the unbelievably rude (and, while driving, dangerous) behavior of so many of the people who use them.  Oblivious loud yakking away about their personal business in designated quiet places.....(grrrrr)

I also have no at-home internet access, no answering machine, no DVD player, and no IPod gadgets.  

I was surprised to see that "no" is currently the highest answer in the poll, and by so much, since so many of us seem to like tech gadgets. Maybe it's an Aspie thing - cell phones being primarily meant for social communication...

I like my mobile I have a Sony Ericsson W810i, it allows me to make calls, send texts, it has a camera and video camera on it, a nice size memory and also plays mp3s and has a radio.

All of that on one little phone - amazing

I probably spend the most time using it to send text messages, but sometimes I also use it to talk to my mom or my friends.

My mom has been nice enough to pay for my cell phone as part of a sort of family plan. It's a very low-tech one, compared to most--one of the type you can get free with certain calling plans. However, it does satisfy my need for a telephone line, so I'm content.

No.  I'm never away for long from those who might need to get ahold of me.  And usually, when I'm out, I'm with my sister, who is permanently attached to her cell, so there's one around if I should have to make a call.  Highly unlikely, though.

  I hate the thought of having to stop what I'm doing every time I hear an annoying ring.

LOL, same here.  Even if I'm just taking a walk in the park and I haven't had my cell phone ring in over a week (usually the case) I *still* don't like to answer.
