Can you really set ANYTHING as your ringtone?

why is it that when i need something the most, it responds to me the least? for example, my cell phone battery died the other day right when i was expecting an important call. knowing that i had a regular land line phone i could use when needed, i turned the phone back on just hoping to keep it on a little while so i'd know when i got the call. you know, hoping i'd maybe hear half a ring-tone before it died again. but when you turn it on, it has to vibrate and flash a bunch of lights and exert all this crazy energy it's trying to impress you with... of course THAT'S gonna take everything it's got left in it and it's going to immediately die out. also, what's up with ringtones now? i mean, what's wrong with a regular phone ringtone. "ring ring" - pick up the phone. why will people pay $1 or more to have their phone play Notorious B.I.G.'s "Big Papa" when they're in a hospital or a busy restaurant. how does sitting in a coffee shop with you're phone suddenly springing to life, screaming out Ashlee Simpson's "La La", possibly reveal anything about your personality? what extent is this really gonna get to? i mean, how big can speakers be on cellphones? is there going to come a time when people walk in, set their phone in the table, and then set up a little sound system so you can hear some Beethoven in Bose Sorround Sound(tm)? is it going to be like bass in cars, where people will get bigger and bigger cellphones for some window shaking, phone ringing action? in a related story, the jamster things on this website are the absolute most annoying things i've ever heard in my life. post on, dearest samuel.
