Ring my cell

S/FJ breaks down the history of the cell phone ring tone. Sounds like even mom's are hip to the groove, "A kid I met on the subway told me that his mother doesn’t like his new 50 Cent ringtone, “Candy Shop,” not because it features explicitly sexual rhymes but because it’s not as cool as “In Da Club,” a previous 50 Cent ringtone, which received Billboard’s first Ringtone of the Year award, in 2004." Personally, my phone doesn't go off often enough to justify spending tons of money on ring tones. Right now it mimics an old rotary phone ring.
