> Forget funky ringtones, I want to find a goddamn ringtone that sounds like an actual _phone_. The default ones that come with my phone are all ingratiatingly sappy musical pieces and searching on the web, I cant find a SINGLE ringtone that sounds anything like an ordinary telephone.

Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters, Probot etc. has one like that. His cell rang during an interview once, and not only did it sound like a real phone, it sounded like a _rotary_ phone!
