The 5200
Shelli got Kristin and I some nifty new cell phones for the holidays, with a year's worth of service so we can keep in touch. One of the niftiest features on this phone was the ability to synch to a computer and be able to upload your own screensavers and mp3s to use as wallpaper and ringtones. Curiously, though, Verizon seems to have dropped this features from this particular model. It seems the reason is to increase sales of screens and ringtones from their affiliates. There is some software to try and get around this, but it all seems like a great hassle just to get that particular song. Ah well. In the end, I guess its better to use a MIDI ringtone - you'd be less likely to just let a call sit so you can hear the whole song.
