- wisedude, on 10/11/2007, -38/+126The iPhone ringtones are the worst part about the iphone. THEY ALL SUCK. whoever had this idea is a ***** idiot
- kolywater, on 10/11/2007, -6/+76i agree these ringtones are subpar (especially for apple), but have you guys heard the ringtones on other phones? my gf's phone's ringer could be a ***** torture device. i'd gladly take boring 'marimba' over 'spastic ambulance siren from hell.'
- timjbart, on 10/11/2007, -11/+37These ringtones are terrible!
- YellowJKT, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24OK. First person to make a techno song off those mp3's gets a free cookie & internet celebritydom :-)
- JasonRomero, on 10/11/2007, -3/+23The default is "Marimba"
-J - Kev585, on 10/11/2007, -8/+27I like marimba, the default iphone ringtone, it's clean and simple.
- Braxo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18I like the default iPhone ringtone, but I can't part with the 24 CTU ringer. Best ringtone ever
- Scopitone, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18Yeah, because these will fill the iPhone sized hole in my heart!
- atticus8, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15Going to have to concur here. The iphone ringtones are infinitely weak. But I'd like to single one out. The "Alarm" ringtone could be the worst ringtone in all phone history. For those who don't know, it's basically one of those fire/biohazard foghorn-esque sirens that is always in the background of "break out of the military base" scenes in movies. The loser in my office that makes us endure this terrible tone many times a day in an open cubicle farm must be killed yesterday. To willingly set your ringtone as that? Masochistic, borderline schizo. Makes me long for "Hamster Dance" - that bad.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -20/+33blah blah blah iPhone blah blah blah
- Madcowz, on 10/11/2007, -9/+21iBored
- digitaldivinci, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12Course you do - Look at your icon.
- Guard, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Anyone I know (besides my dad) makes their own ringtones from a song or other sound and puts them on their phone. Phone companies aren't really known for their amazing ringtones.
But yeah... the ringtones are stupid. They went through them on gizmodo I believe, and there were 2 okay ones. - Carlsen, on 10/11/2007, -4/+11Oh yeah, the most boring ringtones on the market. I want those.
- Squidly, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Marimba is a status symbol. Everyone knows it's the iPhone ring.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6But then you suffer ring tone confusion when you are near another iPhone user. You know when everyone has the same ring tone and one of em rings and the all lunge for the phone.
- Jumboto, on 10/11/2007, -5/+11Downloaded um.
What is the default tone? - kolywater, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8looks like the submitter had the idea given that it links to his site. gg reading.
- cheez, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10but almost all modern, half-way decent phones allow you to add ringtones from your computer, or at least (shutters) download them from your provider. the iphone provides neither.
- brnagi, on 10/11/2007, -5/+11Wow that was slightly disappointing
- suriyou, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I like the Marimba ringtone, myself :/
- aussieNickuss, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9Those without iPhones want to trick up their current phone with the iPhone's ringtones, while those that do own an iPhone want nothing more than be able to get rid of them.
- recover82, on 10/16/2007, -1/+6Just in case jason's site gets hammered, I've posted them for download as well. http://www.geekout.tv/blogs/cody/?p=64
- PARAPA, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4That would be good if it was actually funny.
I just wasted 30 seconds of my life and i'm never going to get it back.
What're you going to do about that!?! - stalefries, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I always wanted to know how these cookies get shipped.
Even better, what kind of cookie are we talking about? The text-file kind? Or the delicious kind? - Chubakkaz, on 10/11/2007, -16/+19totally buried for being yet another bad iphone story
- carlosoliva, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Completely agree with you. Some time ago I was on the bank line in order to cash a check, when I heard the '24 ctu' ringer. At first I thought it was my phone, but after I checked it and it wasn't ringing I realized that the bank office had the phone equipments that sounded like that.
- chibigoku, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6"And if you think the ability to add your own ringtones isn't coming then your short sighted."
Yeah, because when it cost you 600 bucks AND a 2 year contract, you shouldn't expect to be able to do something of the box that cheaper phones have been doing for years....... - bang21, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5RTFA
- Cyber_Akuma, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4More like whoever had the idea had dollar signs in their eyes from ringtone sales on a product they know will be popular.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Could be worse, imagine if he found a way to set his ringtone to Crazy Frog.
- hackysack, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Hold on a minute - what's with the crazy negativity? People really do like to complain these days. They are FREE...and they do NOT suck. If you think they suck then what do you have as your ringtone - the crazy frog? Are you like 11 years old and living in a ***** estate? Are you wearing your Adidas bottoms and your white socks as you type?
I thought the (intelligent) digg community would like clean, professional tones? - Daveecee, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Wow, that wasn't off-topic at all.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Unlike ricing your car, custom ringtones serve a purpose. Now that everone has a cell phone, custom ringtones let you know when YOUR phone is ringing.
- sdschramm, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Is it me, or is 90% of the sound coming from the left channel of audio?
- Chrino, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5This is for real? Half of them are animal sounds and the other half aren't loud enough to hear.
/fail - slyyam, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2haha
- mirunit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Yeah im using Fever Dream from 300 right now.
- aussieNickuss, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Geez......wish my mortgage payment was only $600. With our massive interest rates, my monthly is around $1500.
- markdr123, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2That was awful apart from the well executed "are you gay?" at the end.
That bit was slightly humorous. - nunofgs, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Here is marimba in midi format (for older phones)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5GL5Q1AV - phoomp, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3huh ... I actually *like* these ring tones. Perhaps I haven't heard enough tones, as I've only used the stock tones on my razr (which do suck) and a few songs converted to ringtones (which *really* suck).
- Derferman, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Ask and ye shall receive
http://www.brokenvacuum.net/misc/iphoneitechno.mp3 - Squidly, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Ringtones are coming. It's too lucrative for Apple not to sell 'em.
The biggest problem with the original tones is that there isn't enough of them. - twirk8888, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2http://media.putfile.com/iPhone-Remix
- gweedo767, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5Wow, those do suck. I will stick with the Wii Sports Theme song on my Treeo 700wx (I get to put ANY mp3 I have as a ring tone).
- fullstop102, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Wow. Amazing someone went to the trouble of making these and put them in stereo (left only) Wow what a waste of a right channel!
And yawn. The ringtones are okay but nothing to digg about. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2evidently they don't otherwise there wouldn't be so much negativity over them
and for the record currently i have goin out west by tom waits as my ringtone and a bruce campbell quote from evil dead 3 as my message tone ;-) - opusaz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Sorry, but I still don't get the whole ringtone thing. I guess the marimba iPhone ringtone is OK, but for every phone I've owned, I either left it at the default tone, or switch to a normal phone ring. Then I turned the volume down.
I'm not old, and I work in IT, but I definitely feel like the odd-man-out when it comes to ringtones since they always, always, annoy me. - mannymix03, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2i love how everyone who is all "buried for being another iphone story".
First off, it doesnt make you seem more elite by saying it
Second off, where were you during the ps3 and xbox360 launch, for weeks that was ALL over the frontpage -
