That wasn\u2019t a good way to find out that not everyone is still a fan of that song.<\/p>\n<p>So, it might be time to change my ringtone to something more generic. There are a <a href=\"http:\/\/appworld.blackberry.com\/webstore\/product\/4\/?lang=en\" >ton of options<\/a> in the BlackBerry App World storefront, but I\u2019m finding myself wondering if I need a ringtone at all. When my BlackBerry Bold smartphone isn\u2019t in my pocket or holster where I would feel it vibrate, I\u2019ve got <a href=\"http:\/\/appworld.blackberry.com\/webstore\/content\/3920\/?lang=en\" >BeBuzz<\/a> configured to let me know who\u2019s calling me.<\/p>\n<p>Yet I still feel compelled to have a ringtone because it\u2019s a reflection of who I am. It says: \u201cI am a proud community manager who likes indie pop music and I don\u2019t care who knows it.\u201d It would almost seem that our ringtones &#8211; and even our smartphone choices and configurations &#8211; are an extension of who we are or what we want to tell the world.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a ringtone on your smartphone, or are you strictly a fan of leaving your device on vibrate? Do you see your ringtone as an extension of your personality, or just a random sample of notes?<\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/rimblogs.wordpress.com\/15343\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/rimblogs.wordpress.com\/15343\/\" \/><\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=blogs.blackberry.com&#038;blog=17235670&#038;%23038;post=15343&#038;%23038;subd=rimblogs&#038;%23038;ref=&#038;%23038;feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/InsideBlackberry-TheOfficialBlackBerryBlog\/~4\/lbNaB-6h7LE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cTo vibrate or to ring, that is the question&#8230;\u201d \u2013Shakespeare, if he owned a BlackBerry smartphone Downloading the \u201cSomebody That I Used to Know\u201d ringtone seemed like a pretty solid choice at the time, and even assigning it as my primary ringtone seemed like a fine idea &#8211; until I got a call in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7317,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-639530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7317"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=639530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639530\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=639530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=639530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=639530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
