It is possible (probable, even) that I have acquired for myself a shiny new cell. (I'm disconnecting my landline, as it turns out I'm only ever home on evenings and weekends, which I can get free with this plan anyway.) It is sleek and thin and Bluetooth enabled. This enables me to make my own backgrounds, as well as to create ringtones from .mp3s on my computer.

It also allows me to send text messages, which I was very excited about until I realized that my service provider isn't supported by the LJ text-messaging service.

But! Ringtones and shiny and I loves it, yes. My music library is kind of incredibly huge, and while I'm discovering that great songs aren't always great ringtones, I am flooded with options. (It should be noted that I decided that on the scale of "Win!" to "Dear lord, I do not know you," setting the Doctor Who theme was much close to "DLIDNKY.")

My natural instinct was to vote for Johnny Cash, but people might hear "Hurt" and think you had a NIN ringtone!! And then they might get the wrong idea of you.

But it's Johnny. Clearly, no other version ever performed counts. *wibbles*

There's nothing wrong with NIN. I loved them when I was little. ;)

It's possible that I still think "Only" would make a great Doctor Who regeneration vid. (Sometime I think/You were never really real to begin with/I just made you up to hurt myself and There is no you/There is only me.)

... okay, going back to the corner now.

So, you'd place it a little closer on the scale to 'Win,' then. *G* It looks like the icon would be rather pretty as a bg.

Psst: If you have a Razor, do you know what the resolution on the inside screen is? The manual will not tell me. *shakes fist*

Yes, I have a RAZR, but I don't know the resolution. The icon comes up a bit tiled, but I like the effect. It's four Doctors.:)

I think I'm a little in love with it.

Also, re: resolution: Google says 176x220, just FYI.

Ah, Google, what would I do without you?

I had to pick the Beatles, cos dude, the Beatles!

But once I was on the bus, and it was a dreary, grey day, and we're all just bumping along, heading into Ottawa, when suddenly a dude's cell goes off. You can see everyone start to roll their eyes - oh great, now I have to listen to his conversation - when it dawns on us that his cell is playing the Hockey Night in Canada theme. Hockey's not on that season - during the strike - and yet as it continues to play, the guy taking his sweet time to get it out of his bag, the bus starts...humming. Quietly, then a bit louder, and suddenly I realize I'm humming too, and we're all humming the tune along with the phone.

He answered it then, and I looked around and made some half-guilty eye contact with a few people, and everyone returned to their stupor. But most of 'em were smiling. Hence, the best ringtone ever.

Huh. *is clueless* So you don't need a landline to get broadband? Wow. They're stiffing us $30/month just to *have* the phone plus another $50 for adsl over here...

This particular bit is bluetooth between my phone and computer. Your MacBook is Bluetooth enables as well -- It's just another filesharing protocol independent of boardband.

But, yes, it seems DSL is less expensive over here -- plus, we don't have to buy a modem. At least not in Saskatchewan.

Do I owe you email? I have this sinking feeling like I owe you email.

Huh. Cool. *grins* You don't have to buy a modem if you go into one of the $150 per gb on a two year contract with a big provider type plans (and I'm not exaggerating. I've seen them for up to $200/gb) but you'd be a FOOL to go near one like that.

I'm not sure you owe me email. I can't remember, I'm afraid.

My ringtone is "Do You Want To" by Franz Fernidand. It's snazzy and makes me bop my head to the beat everytime it plays. XD
