njc110381 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hey guys. I'm feeling like I'm getting old all of a sudden. I just signed up to a new phone contract (mobile) and got my new phone. It's great, does almost everything I ever need from a phone but there's just one issue. I got the Land Rover phone. IP67 rated, you can throw it at walls, drop it in your beer/swimming pool and it wont break. Sounds great. BUT... The ringtones. You can't make it just ring. You know, like a phone? It has loads of gay (can I say that?) tunes on it, but a phone sound? No chance! I'm really annoyed, I had to get my mrs to download my old ringtone off the internet and stick it on the new phone! Now this thing is supposed to be aimed at outdoor types, builders and people with proper manly jobs. Yet it has a range of ringtones that would suit a 16 year old girl! Am I the only one who would be p***** off about this? It's really got my back up that I've had to go to so much effort to get a "normal" ringtone. Rant over, I'm off to cook me tea!

Zapp Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 One of my guys at work is a gadget freak, and he got the landrover phone too. From what he said it is beyond useless, his cant even send/receive photos apparently. Just as well you can lob it against walls really.....

Chard Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) It's not just you, I get driven by distraction by the ridiculous cacophony of tripe that issues forth from peoples phones. I can't find a sensible ring tone either so I have my phone on silent, turbo powered vibration masturbation mode and keep it thrust down the front of my trousers Edited October 27, 2009 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death from below Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I dealt with a complaint at work recently when one of the lads left his mobile on the desk in a meeting involving several top bods in my organisation as well as company CEO's from partner agencies - he had forgotten top put it on silent and had recorded his girlfriend screaming out a massive fake orgasm with a running commentary on what she was going to do to him. It massively offended several attendees in the room. Man, once I heard about it(I had gone off to get a coffee) I ****** myself laughing and got some uppity senior bod having a go at me for not taking the phone 'scandal' seriously(I really do have to mix with some right knobends at times). Modern mobile phones - I love 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
