This post is written in an attempt to explain to many of you who think I’m a complete idiot to ditch my iPhone for a “mere” Nokia N95. I had no choice but to explain. I hope you can understand why now.

Primary Reasons:

• iPhone is a great multifunction device, but it is in general a terrible phone.
• The reception is comparatively bad to many sub RM300 “cikai” (lousy?) phones out there. Once it goes out of reception, it’ll actually take a few minutes to regain the reception back on.
• No MMS (Picture message) support out-of-the-box. I use these quite often, so it does gets on my nerve to be needing a 3rd Party application just to have this supposedly basic feature
• The camera is not up to my par of standard. I’m not talking about megapixels here, but rather the camera in general. Very poor performance in low light, not much thing you can do with it out of the box. Yet needing another 3rd party application to make it better. No video recording, no macro. Why I’m such a fuss? because I don’t wanna carry another digicam in my pocket, and I still want to have decent camera with me all the time. No flash too.

There’s once when I was Googling for silent ringtones, and I keep on stumbling upon so-called “teenager’s silent ringtone“. These ringtones are made in such high frequency that they claim most people in their parent’s generation are not able to hear due to the deterioration of their hearing.

The thing about these ringtones is that I can hear them, and they hurt my head quite astoundingly. I just want a completely silent ringtone to use!

“Why silent ringtone? Can’t you just mute your phone?” - some might ask. The purpose of having a silent ringtone is so that I can assign it to any people that I might not want to answer their calls immediately, if not at all. So after some rounds of frustation, I downloaded Audacity, and make one of my own.

Here’s the silent ringtones if you’d like to use:

Happy silencing!
