Thou hast done well in defeating the metal slime.

Farted around with my new laptop's Bluetooth controls during a dull meeting, and discovered that I could directly browse and add items to my phone's ringtone directory. It's just MIDIs! And it suddenly struck me that the most perfect ringtone to my mind is the battle music from the classic Nintendo RPG Dragon Warrior, because there's really a lot of similarity in the intrusiveness of both an incoming phone call and a random monster attack. (Now if only I could hack the answer/don't-answer menu to say "Fight" and "Run".)

I then turned up the ring volume a couple of notches because I want everyone on the bus to know what a badass I am. Clearly.

what kind of phone?

Since I know you're a fellow Mac user, and I'm still planning on switching phones/plans, what kind of phone do you have?

It's a Sony Ericsson T610. I bought it last year at the T-Mobile store in Harvard Square.

I don't like everything about it (especially the screen, which is practically unusable in direct sunlight) but I've liked it a lot more since getting a Bluetooth computer; the contact-list synching with the Mac OS X address book is effortless. (And it even synchs with iCal, which I wasn't expecting.)

I like T-Mobile's service fine.

Me, I have a Sony Ericsson T608 since it's the only phone Sprint carries that has Bluetooth and is iSync compatible. It's OK -- I can do without the bells & whistles like Java games, but at least it doesn't have a camera. (I have no use for one on a phone.) They don't make the phone anymore, but Sprint still sells them. It's small and it syncs great.
