I very much remember wanting to get the limited edition phone that they actually made, an actual working phone that was pretty darn close to the one the characters used in the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies, haha.

/Then I would be cool/ rofl.

EDIT: Remember when people would actually clip songs or sounds and had to manually make them your ring or msg tone?

Nowadays everyone just pays for them.

You can still do a custom tone and what not, without paying, at least on android, but nobody seems to do that anymore.

    You can do it on iPhone too, and I still do. Yeah, I know, I'm antiquated.

    I like to set my default ringtone to silence, and then give known contacts a real sound for calls AND texts. I've been doing this for about ten years and the peace of it is fantastic. I didn't wait for Apple to do it for me, I just created a 2 second .wav of silence and then jumped through the hoops to get it on the phone as a ringtone and then set it to default. The very few times I've missed a first time contact that I actually wanted to hear from is nothing compared to the mountains of unwanted shit I've missed.

    But there's a catch. Now, whenever I blow away the OS of an old device, I have to manually re-import my SilentRing.m4r since the devices are all still connected to my Apple ID -- it doesn't matter that my iPhone ring is silent if my iPad starts ringing anyway, lol.

    Easy enough to do, though. I think Apple gives you the option of a default silent ring in the OS now, but for anyone who is using an older iOS or just wants to try it:
