Polyphonic ringtones were the
second generation ringtone, and a major improvement over
monophonic tones.
The phone has a synthesizer which can reproduce fairly well the
sound of a number of different instruments. Also, it can play more
than one note at a time, so you can have rhythm and melody played
together. The overall effect is similar to that of a programmable
music keyboard.

true tones (mp3 ringtones) for our most realistic sounding tones.
