So do you need the software? The short answer is NO, you should not be using iBrickr. This application is old technology that requires you to break your standard iPhone installation. Its extremely risky and we don’t recommend it. Newer versions of the iTunes software and the iPhone OS make this software obsolete.

What business profession has time to do a full system restore on their iPhone? Most do not and therefore its not worth the risk. Especially given that you can now install amazing ringtone packages from third party vendors such as ExecTones.

ExecTones has a complete package for the iPhone that caters to the business professional crowd. We are the only package on the market today that is serving this iPhone community and serving it well. ExecTones is a best seller around the world.

We will admit that we like the name of their software given that the likelihood it will turn your phone in to a brick is high.

Monophonic phones are various music notes that are only played on one channel. This is why it is called monophonic. Monophonic tones are those that can be heard on old mobile phones and are usually viewed as dated and unprofessional. This image often gets extended to the phone’s owner.

From monophonic ringtones, mobile phones advanced until it was able to play polyphonic ringtones. On the other hand, polyphonic ringtones are different music notes that are played on two or more channels making it more melodious and not too dull. It was a big improvement especially in the quality of the ringtone; however, it didn’t sound very professional. Eventually, another type of ringtones has emerged and these are called as the realtone ringtones.

Actually, a realtone ringtone sounds better than polyphonic ringtones because the former are real ringtones that you hear in the office and at home. Unlike the polyphonic ringtones that are more musical sounding, the realtone ringtones sound very professional and the same as what you hear in the office and at home.

A lot of people, especially those in the corporate world, like the realtone ringtones because they sound very professional and not embarrassing when heard in public like a heavy metal song, an orchestra, or the latest rap music.

What about preinstalled ringtones?

True enough, mobile phones contain their own pre-installed ringtones. However, these pre-installed ringtones do not have the same quality like that of realtone ringtones. This is the reason why a lot of people are still looking for realtone ringtones that will suit their personality. Realtone ringtones sound very real and similar to what people normally hear; however, these are not the most professional sound that you will hear.

If you are looking for ringtones that sound very professional and at the executive level, you should check out the ringtone collection at ExecTones. ExecTones has a wide range of ringtones that are professional sounding. Aside from that, having a wide range of collections of ringtones will also provide you with a lot of choices that will meet your personal and your professional needs. You will never have to be ashamed once your phone rings in public and you will never be the office clown!

If you decide to use a MIDI formatted ringtone on the Palm Treo it is important to remember that the ringtone file cannot exceed 64kb. This limitation doesn’t apply to the WAV files so we recommend this as a better Palm Treo ringtone option. Not only do you not have size restrictions but the audio quality will be much higher.

An easier approach to ringtone installation is to purchase a package that is already configured and ready to go for the Treo. We recommend our business professional ringtone collection, the Executive Package which comes with WAV files ready to be installed on the Treo.

If you would like to change your Palm Treo ringtone, you can do so by following these steps:

• Move the files to your Treo with the PC software or by moving the files to your SD card.
• Press the applications launcher.
• Select the Prefs application and wait for it to launch.
• You’ll see a General heading tab, from there; select the Sounds and Alerts option.
• Once the Sounds and Alerts option launched, you’ll see the screen for the preferences. Select the option where you can change your ringtone then select from the list of ringtones that you have.

During one of President Obama’s recent speeches a journalist’s mobile ringtone went off. Was it a nice clean business-professional ringtone? No. It was a quacking duck ringtone. The entire speech was stopped and the President had to comment on the ringtone. Although the president made light of the situation and showed the journalist some grace in the matter, it should never have happened to begin with.

First they ask, “what are the default ringtones?” And when they realize that the default ones are horrible they immedietly ask “where can I get ringtones to save me from this!”

We had high hopes for the Palm Pre, but unfortunately the default ringtone is one of the worst we have ever heard! Listen here.

There is definetly no way a business professional can stick with it. Luckily we have a solution to the problem. All of our ringtone packages will work with the Palm Pre.

If you are a professional I encourage you NOT to leave the default ringtone on. Use these instead.

It will be exciting to see if the Palm Pre Release can trump the very successful career of the Palm Treo series phones and save Palm.
