i imagine that there's no way i'm alone in feeling this way...
what's up with the default ringers on all new cel phones totally sucking rhinoceros balls? it's as if all the major vendors of phones that you see in wireless stores got together in a meeting and just agreed, "from this point forward, all phones will ship with ringers that sound nothing like normal phones ringing... we'll include awful, bleating tones and gut wrenching adaptations of overused midi files that play at uncontrollable volumes, and also one or two super-soft beep noises which sound like a travel alarm clock packed inside of a wadded up jock strap in the bottom of a dresser drawer... but absolutely under no circumstances will our phones ring like proper phones."
the thing is, humor aside, i believe that this is exactly what the phone vendors have decided... and that immediately following this statement in the executive meeting, the marketing people spoke up saying, "yeah, they'll totally be forced into downloading new ring tones, and that will get them exploring our online store right from the start." then the biz-dev guys chimed in, "we could contract with Jamster and all the other horseshit companies whose revenue model is based on fleecing every last cent out of poor and ignorant people in order to provide ring tones that idiots pay for every single month! it will be great!"
anyone with inside information on the cellular industry want to confirm or deny my aggravated rantings?
