Presidents - Lump

for all calls except for calls from my parents' house, which is set the the hobbit music from the LotR movies (partially because home is a nice and comfortable place, but also because the soothing music will never wake me up when I'm asleep :p)

mine rings then says "call from <name>". Not the most exciting, but incredibly useful when i'm somewhere on the other side of the house and can hear whose calling me.

My phone supports mp3's for ringtones so I normally throw a few on the transflash card and have the song du jour :D

Mine's got Manamana on it right now, but I mostly use vibrate.

I've ripped a few other clips from some songs too...

Soul Bossa Nova (Austin Powers)
The Kinks - You really Got Me
Allan Sherman - Hello Muddah
Classics IV - Spooky

David Rose - The Stripper <- Kidding, not on my phone, but, I have the file, I may use it for a gag one day.

How can I just download a .wav of this? Or who can I choose since nextel isn't listed?

mine just goes ring. Don't really think its worth dling a ring tone for 3 bucks each on my v600. Also I don't have a $20 dock to connect it to my computer.

Yeah anyone who pays for a ringtone is lame...I bought a datacable from NewEgg, mainly to manage my phonebook and photo's from the camera phone. Adding ringtones was just an added bonus. If it wasn't for that, I would not have bothered with changing the default tone.
