Samsung SCH-A950
ringers
I've always been a Samsung fan mainly due to the fact that their phones have always been loaded with NORMAL rings. I've read in a few reviews this one doesn't have them. What's the real deal?
...
The phone I looked at only had around 5 ringers. Again this was the floor model at circuit city but that is all it had on it.

This phone, as well as most phones these days for VZW, is made purposely with very few ringtones to get you to buy more via Get It Now. đ

i kno! altho you can find ringers in both the "my ringtones" and "my sounds" sections, there aren't that many, and they aren't that great. i'm highly annoyed w/ verizon for taking away features that are supposed to come w/ the phone... dang money grubbers! âšī¸

I'm curious (as I might be getting this phone soon)- I have read about Verizon limiting the number of ringers and that people are trying to hack the phone and do other weird things to download ringers (or music ringers) into the phone. So here's my question. Is it just that people don't want to pay Verizon a few bucks to download their ringers into the phone - or is there something I am missing here. I thought that if you paid a few bucks (say for a music/song ringer) that was all there was to it. Do you have to pay more than a few bucks for a song? Why are people opposed to a few dollars more after they have already spent a few hundred (mas o menos) on their phone?
...
For most people, it's not that they don't want to pay a couple of dollars for a ringtone, it's that they want to have a different ringtone for everyone in their phone book, which could be tons.
...
why i'm annoyed is that they actually took away what was originally for the phone. talking about paying more than a hundred, shouldn't you get what this phone originally has to offer when you pay that much money for it?
...
OK agreed - but in today's world what is an extra ten or twenty bucks to download ringers legally. From what I can see, there is way too much time being spent on how to do things illegally rather than just paying Verizon to download the ringers. Maybe it's just the thrill of being able to do something against the grain!

I'm pretty old-fashioned and have never been very impressed with songs launching off people's hips. Always used a plain old 'ding a ling' ringer. This Samsung doesn't even come with that basic traditional ringtone. The 10 or so preloaded midi files are lame and sure won't impress anyone. I thought the idea--from Samsung's viewpoint--is to sell phones.
...
This really gets my goat. I could care less about the fact I need to buy ringtones, however, I am a synth player and I love to make my own unique custom ringtones. They have made it fairly difficult to use them.
...
I bought mine the other day at a verizon store in boston, i was disappointed that it does NOT have normal ringers, all jingle jangle embarrassing sounds...i had to subscribe to a get now ring tone to buy 3 normal ring tones...i thought that was ghetto that i had to do that..i dont care for a fancy ring tone, they should at lease supply normal tones....but the music execs im sure would rather you buy them.... what next?...are they gonna star bottling air?
