The fashionable see their phones as extensions of their identity like watches or cars. "The mobile phone is no longer just functional. It is a fashion accessory and a status symbol. Haute couture has created ?phone couture'. Mobile phones are an essential accessory.

Every woman has a mobile by her side. It has become part of her body language" said Philip Parrott.Mobile phones and fashion seem unlikely partners. The mobile phone is now commonplace and owners seek greater individuality for their possession. People want a return to self expression. This explains the popularity of ringtones and screen graphics.

New ways of customising mobile phones have developed.

It is said that full song downloads to mobile phones are also on the increase and with the rise of higher bandwith services as 3G and 4G, the Eastern markets are already enjoying the benefits.MP3 has been a controversial part of the Internet's history. It's been so controversial that it has actually rooted the file format into the computer industry (because there's no such thing as...). With so many MP3 players being sold annually it will probably be a good few years before another file format dethrones it. The marriage between cellular phones and mp3 players have long ago taken place. Most phones had problems with memory not being large enough to handle full songs, but there are already phones that take flash cards of up to 1 Gigabyte of data so that bridge has been crossed quite a while ago.This brings me to one of the oldest conspiracy theories which I'll discuss as a comparison.

I am sure that cars would have been able to run off any type of waste (or old cooking oil for what it's worth) long ago if it was not for the monopolies of the large oil cartels in the world. It's not a direct comparison, I know, but what may you ask have oil cartels have to do with MP3 playing cell phones? Well, for one, gas (or petroleum as some call it) is a 'proprietory fuel' which can be controlled in a way, by oil suppliers as it's made from oil. Just like that, in the ringtone industry, there are proprietory formats of ringtones which many manufacturers rely on to make extra profits, as well as whole industries of ringtone suppliers.Surely it would be easier if all cell phones could just play MP3? Yes, but with the large availability of MP3, it might be a risk on the music industry's behalf for loss of profit on the one side, and then loss of profits on the manufacturers. It's a catch twenty two situation with the users losing out in the end! Some cellphone manufacturers do support though and I've got an idea it is in order to capture market share in the mp3 player industry. That's a good move.To the question whether MP3 will take over as fully supported ringtone format my answer is, quite possibly.

I do think there is value in supporting MP3 (and MP4 which includes video for future) and hope that we'll see more of it soon..

The majority of cell phones can only make a single tone at a time. The monophonic ringtone tune is comprised of a series of sequential tones at different frequencies. Polyphonic RingtonesPolyphonic tones are played on cellular phones that have the capability of playing up to 16 separate tones at once. The combination of tones creates a harmonic melody. Polyphonic ringtones are more musical than a monophonic ringtone.

Newer phones support polyphonic ringtones. It is likely that future cell phones will be capable of producing musical ringtones of CD quality.Finding Ringtones & Ringtone CompatibilityThere are a number of websites that offer ringtones, graphics or even games to download onto your cell phone. The websites vary in that some allow you to purchase specific ringtones while others offer subscriptions that allow you to download an unlimited number of ringtones. When you locate a ringtone be sure to first ensure that it will work with your cellular model phone and that the site is respectful of the artists copyright. Like any original works, artists receive royalties for ringtones, be sure that the website has the permission to distribute the ringtone.

Sites that we've found helpful in finding ringtones and determining compatibility are:Ringtones Central - http://www.ringtones-central.comFree Ringtones Online - http://www.free-ringtones-online.comRingtone CompositionFrequently consumers will wish to compose personalized ringtones. Occasionally, cell phones can be programmed with ringtones by entering a series of buttons. Software is also available that allow consumers to create their own melodic ringtones. The software runs on a computer, and once the tune is perfected it can be transferred to the phone via a data cable.
