Yup - a cat meowing ;-)

Yes, there's one tune that is particularly ubiquitous - so much so that I recently saw a documentary made in Venezuela, and someone's cell phone in the movie "rang" that same tune!! I was watching with some friends and starting humming along with the tune. I guess it's world-famous.

The main nasty Ice cream truck song around here is "Little Brown Jug." I really hate that song.

Hopitus2 - 03 May 2004 04:37 GMT Oh, I like my Nokia; its smaller than a lot of the others, doesn't "flip" or "fold", and unlike my coworker's Nextel, doesn't blow me away when it does ring. It did come with extra nonsense that I just either don't use or nixed w/the Great Kahuna at AT&T when I got it. Most of that stuff is for kids. I might be interested in a picture phone when the resolution is a helluva lot better.

It's the only one in which the menus make sense and you can use it right away without spending a whole day reading manuals and learning to find stuff. Siemens is the worst.

Maybe I'll have to stick to Nokia anyway. I've never actually handled any other brand of mobile, since everyone I know seems to have a Nokia (not that surprising, since it is, after all, a Finnish company). My BIL works in R&D at Nokia. They are aware that some people would like simpler models, but the money is in selling toys for young people.

We recently joined the 21st century and got a Nokia cell phone. I'm still playing with it and learning how to use it. No calls received on it yet, but then we tend to keep it turned off. It will be turned on for the trip though and if any of you want/need the phone number, please email me and I'll get back to you

I simply >don't *want* all the bells and whistles that come with their new models. All I want is a basic phone, the caller ID, and ability to store around 30 phone numbers. I have one of the low end nokias which works pretty well for I want. I would like one that rings louder than this one, though. The volume is adjustable of course, but when I'm running lawn equipment I don't hear it. Tried going the vibrating route, but when the equipment you're using is vibrating, you don't feel a vibrating phone.

Hopitus2 - 03 May 2004 09:21 GMT Why, Steve, I don't think anyone could hear a phone ringing while running lawn equipment! My lawn care dude just checks his cell phone frequently to see if he's "missed" any calls to it. I think you'd call my Nokia one of the "low-end" models as well. Marina, you'd have no way to know this, but Siemens, which I believe is a Germany-based company, makes the finest xray equipment $ can buy; when I first started in the business, they were the undisputed leader in quality equipment, but over the years the USA has some companies that rival them bigtime at present time. I always LOL @ Siemens manufacturing cell phones.....wierd to me, like deBeers making belly-button rings.....but you know what they say about German technology and workmanship.

The tires are at Nokian Renkaat and the boots at Nokian Jalkineet.

Now I just leave the phone in the truck and check for missed calls between yards. Mine is definitely a low end model, as it's the same model the wireless company gave me when I signed up.
Not the same phone though. A couple years ago I was working on replacing a sprinkler in an irrigation system and dropped the phone in the hole filled with muddy water. Didn't notice when it happened, so it was full of gunk by the time I drained the water out of the hole and discovered I'd dropped it. Thing still rang when dried out, but the display was messed up and half the buttons didn't work.

Mine is a Siemens - and I've finally come into the 21st century; never had a cell before! But I figured, what the heck, looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling ;)
So I got the cheapest plan possible - Cingular with just a few local minutes since it's for emergencies, really. Free long distance which I need - and the phone was free, too. There's all sorts of animal ringtones, and you can assign different tones for different people or groups. For people who aren't in my address book, my phone whinney's like a horse. The other night, it started going off and I thought it was the television; then I realized I didn't have the TV on. Where the hell is that horse sound coming from? ROFL It was a wrong number.

Mine's the Nokia 7210 and it has an infrared port. So I had to get an infrared port for the computer (just a tiny little thing you plug into the USB port) and I downloaded some free Nokia software which lets you change a MIDI into a ringtone. I don't know if it would be similar with an Alltel phone, you could do a Google search. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!
