Andre LouisListening to old Nokia ringtones from the N95, which was the last phone I got near the end of 2007 and being way more impressed by the quality compared to most of today's offerings from the big companies. Apple, Samsung, Google etc, you have a lot to learn and you've had years to do it. Still not impressed.
x0@FreakyFwoof If you're talking about the trend towards minimalism, I wonder if the existence of the iTunes ringtones store and whatever Google's equivalent is is a reason for that? After all, why ship great ringtones with the phone if you can buy them, and the vendor gets a cut? Did the Nokia and the like have something like this? Besides possibly loading your own ringtones onto it via computer?
@x0 It was much easier to just put files on a memory card and tell that to be a ringtone back then.
@FreakyFwoof OK, so it could do that. The ringtones store is of course for people who are lazy and/or not tech savvy enough to do that. And those same people are likely to just use the defaults. At least Apple's latest wave of them, the Encore Infinitum project, appear to be doing something interesting for a change, their previous ones are quite meh.
