No. It is having exactly the opposite effect. the first Frog tone made them
OVER £10 MILLION!!! I am sure this next one will be pretty close too. This
form of aggressive campaigning is because they know that anything could be
the next fad that sad muppets cling onto whilst parting with masses of £1.50
per tones! In other words, get them while it's "cool".

Silly sad persons.


Well, they won't be appearing on a mobile phone anywhere near me ....

How lame can that be!


The ads are context sensitive, and funnily enough didn't appear when I
actually bought the newspaper and read it over lunch. I was merely providing
a link to an article no doubt a number of newspapers carried.

Seems weird to me that most have mentioned the music channels ( Which I
don't watch...What's the point of getting No1 just by flashing the most
clevage,Certainly a crap way of doing it?)

So that's how Tony Christie & Peter Kay got "is this the way to Amarilo"
back to no 1.
Urgh, what a thought, Tony Christie & Peter Kay competing to show the most
cleavage.

Loz

at least pete would win :O)

Oh of course that's ANOTHER lame way...*Charity* ;-)

Weird one that too, Tony Christie feat' Peter Kay......Listening to the song
where does he actually feature??

Peter Kay doesn't feature at all, in fact I think the whole thing was
part of Tony's greatest hits thing. But I also seem to recall Pete
doing this walking along the corridors miming to the song on one of
his videos

Oh, I forgot another reason for getting No1....Dying!

Nah, it's easy now. They reckon it takes so few sales now anything
could get number one.

I think it should be banned -- but so should many others. I am equally
offended by the Audi ad which thinks it's A Good Thing to have a car
horn as the soundtrack, increasing in volume until at the end you just
have to switch it off.

And how did the awful eSure 'mouse' ad ever get made?

What about the Green Flag ad, with the song from Italian Job?

Mind you, the curly haired blonde babe in the broken-down car makes it
worth watching. I could make some crude joke about giving her a good
servicing, but I'll refrain.

seems like everyone is using these tones these days, awful i know, but
thats life. i've gone back to a standard "ring ring" tone which nowadays
is unheard of.


It's all I've ever used. In fact, when I first got my 7250 I found that it
wasn't loaded onto the phone as standard. I simply downloaded it in midi
form on my pc and transferred it to my phone. If it's something that's
missing from a lot of modern phones, maybe it's something I can sell.
