How Many People Use The DROID Robot Sound On Their Phone

I use the guitar solo from Whole Lotta Love for when my wife calls. Everyone else gets ELP's Fanfare for the Common Man except any calls from work get Star Wars: Imperial March.

I too, find the "droooid" really annoying.

For my notifications I use a quacking duck for txts, and a horse whinny for emails.

For ringtones, my wife gets Steve Winwoods' "Valerie," 'cause that's her name. Work gets Frank Zappa's "I'm the slime (coming out of your teevee set)" because I work at a tv station. And most everyone else gets Men Without Hats "who can it be now."

Dan :p

I love it. My friends all repeat it DROIIIIIIIIIIIIID bc they think it's so cool lol. My coworker in the cube next to me does it now too. Anytime my phone rings he imitates the Crank dying ringtone too which is pretty funny.

I keep the Droid sound for basic SMS/MMS. I use the Lost computer beep (1x) for my incoming Gmail. I have a U2 Electrical Storm intro clip I use for Facebook notifications. I actually want to set up a few more specialized.

There's no way to make a specialized voicemail alert sound is there?
