Does anyone else pointlessly customize their cell phone?

I have 2 finals tomorrow but I'm resting at about 45% in both classes so I really am not studying too hard, watch the professors curve hard and fail me. Anyways, back to the spirit of this random thread.

I'm trying to make my cell as neat to play with as possible. It's a Motorola V220 that I got really cheap ($35) and there's a pretty nice aftermarket community online for it. It uses a mini-USB cable to connect to your computer which I already had thanks to owning a Canon digital camera, and the software I got from, uh, here or there. So the customizations started.

- The outside of the cell doesn't say "ROGERS" during a call, it says my name.
- The power-on and power-off screens are now the Windows XP logon and logoff screens, instead of the default Motorola bullcrap.
- I unlocked the ability to upload any Java program I wanted, so now I have two full games on the phone: Asteroids and Tetris. w00t!
- My custom ringtone is nerdy but pretty cool: The Starcraft Terran 1 theme.

If you've got a Motorola V-series cell you can join in the fun too. This site has all the information you really need, and I can help make sense of it if needed.
 
Yes... I have the LG VX6000 and I got the computer cable and some software and have the coolest ringtones and backgrounds and other little apps on my phone now.
