I'm not enamored at all by this trend.  In my opinion - most of the
time anyone hearing my phone ringing is just annoying to them anyways,
why would I want to make it even more annoying by turning it into a
song by JayZ or Coldplay?

I use my cell phone all the time but it's my cellphone, not my own
personal broadcasting system for proving how hip and cool I am .  If I
want to tell someone I am a fan of Coldplay I will say "Hey did you
hear the latest Coldplay song?  I like it".

I also have a Sidekick (v1 color) and I love it, but I don't walk
around playing barely recognizable crap-tones on it to impress my
friends.

More power to you if you can convince people to buy mucis and put it
on their phone.  I'm sure at some point phones will be iPods and live
streaming video will fit on a moto razor, but till then please
*please* just turn the sound on your phone off and put the gigantic
monstrosity of a crap-i-tone back in your pocket.
