the ring-tone

Do they text 'gotcha' after you pay for it? Or are people actually intending to buy the $4.50
+gst ringtone that's pitch is so high
that its silent..
i think i'll get the annoying siren instead.. wicked.
isn't it amazing how much money is spent on the ringtone when your gonna have to answer it sometime.. esp before they hang up. i guess unless you're going to play it at top volume on the bus endlessly so that everyone tired from uni/work knows that you love Nelly and Kelly's 'Dilemma' and Missy Elliot's '1,2, step', then there isn't really much point..
I admit there was a time when i got hooked on the real voice ones. it was a phase. i no longer enjoy the pleasure of mobile phone entertainment.
It seems however, that i'm one of a small group. In 2003, ringtones brought in US $50 million dollars in downloads. Imagine the revenue in 2006. There is even an award, as Nabeel said in his lecture, that Knight Rider won.

Maybe one should move to Estonia where ringtones and mobile communications aren't as much a massive attack as here. http://www.mobisolutions.com/docs/mServices.pdf
They also probably don't try to blackball their consumers with a SILENT ringtone.. as the fonz puts it.. ayyy..
