Caller should be able to transfer and set his ring tone. If the phone displays a picture when the phone is ringing, then caller should be able to transfer and set this as well. The transfer of the ring tone should preferably be done, when calling. But if that is not feasible then it should be done the next time the phone is connected to a cheap communication channel (internet). To avoid abuse the callee should be able to deny people from doing it. Default would be deny.
Another brilliant idea from Ole. Ole, what's your day job? You really are very imaginative. Further braintstorming (not necessarily practical): Very flexible allow/block control. You wouldn't want some ex-friend calling you with the ringtone set to a rude sound clip. Perhaps ideas from firewall control options: allow anything except from blacklist; block anything except from whitelist; etc. I imagine that musicians and other graphic artists would love this. Call your friends to tell them of your latest composition, with the ringtone being the first few bars (or whatever). In fact, if you have a quick message to deliver, the ringtone (or the picture) can actually be the message itself. Then if you are in a meeting or otherwise can't take the call, at least you have the quick answer. Kind of like instant messaging with optional immediate phone conversation. A bridge from SMS: Text message from SMS gets synthesized as speech and delivered as ringtone..... Monitor my servers: certain conditions send email with long description in the message body, summary in the subject field. Subject gets coverted to ringtone and sent to my OpenMoko. If it's important I can accept the call and hear the details (message body).
