AM I Missing Something?

I have been reading a LOT of phone reviews and the one thing that I always see people complain about is if a phone will not allow you to use a complete MP3 song as a ringer. My question is...why would you want to? Do you plan on letting your phone ring long enough to hear the song play? It will go to voicemail way before it's done anyways. That can't be it. There has got to be another reason why people want to use full MP3s that I'm just not seeing. Sorry for the dumb question, but I honestly don't get this one.

^^^hey, i have a cingular branded w810i and it won't allow full mp3's as ringtones...i guess the main reason people complain out this is because since it won't allow this, you have to cut the mp3 to less than 600kb so that it can be used as a ringtone...you are right in saying that you would never hear the whole song before voicemail would come on, but the main annoyance is that you have to first cut the song on your computer before using it as a ringtone...

if the phone would allow any mp3 as a ringtone, it would eliminate the step of having to edit your song first...it would just make it much easier i guess...

Thanks for the reply. I guess I just don't see the point. When my phone rings I usually answer it within 2 to 5 seconds. Most songs don't even get to the "good part" for at least 15 to 20 seconds. If you don't cut it down and use the good part, you're only ever going to hear the very beginning of the song.

I am with you matt ??
i hate use mp3 for ringtones never sound clearly so y could hear from another room or when in noise area. I prefere good polyphonic that can be hear laud and clear no matter where you are. you want to listen a song just push play in you mp3 player and thats all.. imagine you mother calling with an emergency and you dont pick the call just for listen the mp3 jajajaja what an idiot idea..
for that the phone is an mp3 player to listen music wenever you want and wrever you are..

ThaWiz45 pretty much hit it head on. It's about cutting them down.

i don't care to pay for a bunch of lousy sounding clips to use as mp3's and the built in ringtones i simply don't like.

because i'm usually doing something and my phone is sitting on a desk near me, i really like to assign different ringtones to different people. seeing as how this is an mp3 phone, why not just use the mp3's already in the phone? granted you won't hear the good part, but it's fun.

another reason is that the phone was designed to use them and then cingular disabled it so you go and purchase them from cingular. that's the really annoying thing.

cingular only have ind mind (((MONEY)) almost in every menu of the phone is a freking...SHOP somthing.. if you go to picture the first option is buy picture! who wants to buy a stupid picture if you can google it (image) and find awsome wallpaper for free. if you gou to your music the first option buy ringtones..etc. I read in another threat that cingy take out the mp3 ringtones to prevent illegal copy of them... this is the worst , stupid, non sence of excuse. they just want you to buyit and not use your personal files..
