Ringtones have been around for ever!

So it's not often that a new ringtone service impresses me enough to step up to the PC and write about it.

So when I find a ringtone service that has me thinking "WOW! That's Great"! - I take the time to tell you about it.

So which ringtone service has got me buzzing?

SingMyRing.com - This one is simply brilliant!

It's all in the name. SingMyRing.com provide really catchy, and professionally produced ringtones using YOUR name. I can't emphasise the quality enough - They're the best I've heard in a very long time.

So How Does It Work?

You visit the site and type in your name. They'll let you listen to a load of previews of ringtones that use your name in the track. There are loads of different versions available... Acoustic, Barbershop, Dance, Disco, Funk, Garage, Piano, Rave, RnB and Rock.

But It Doesn't End There!

You can also get 'Pal Tones' - Ringtones that use your friends' name. Type in your mates name and you can get a ringtone based on the 'XYZ is calling you". The you can assign it to your contacts so that when XYZ calls you, you know exactly who's calling. Excellent stuff!

There's More!

SingMyRing.com also provides 'Alarm Tones' and 'SMS Text Alert Tones' that use your name. Neat stuff.

Still, The Fun's Not Over Yet!

There's also a bunch of 'Text Tones', 'Funny Tones' and 'Rude Tones'.

There's also a 'free stuff' offer, but I didn't investigate it. I just ploughed in and bought a bunch of them for me and Mrs. Thumblounge.

Mobyko are offering a free service that backs up your mobile phone contacts. After you sign up, you download a small piece of software to your mobile phone and it uploads your 'contact data' to a secure web site. You can access the data from any in the world.

Anyone that's ever lost a mobile phone or had it stolen by some scallywag will know how invaluable this service is. You simply access the site with your new handset and it'll upload all of the contact data you backed up.

They offer a premium service that also lets you back up your SMS text messages, video and photos. You can also send 10 free sms text messages, with the option to buy more. Frankly I don't know it's worth the effort for the free sms text, but I'd certainly recommend that you get your mobile phone backed up for free.

You can sign up to Mobyko here.

I got an email from Ricardo over at moipal.com, a mobile social network and free mobile game for your mobile phone.

MoiPal is a friend you create on the internet and that lives in your phone. With MoiPal you can play fun games or just hang out and have a talk with some other pals. Choose your clothes and friends, compete and explore a virtual world full of excitement. To get MoiPal for free, just go to:
moipal.com

I've had a look around, and it fun. It took just a couple of minutes to get going, and create my pal (moi pal - geddit?). You choose the style of home yourpal lives in and one of four regions that home is located in. I was torn between the city and the beach, but went with the city in the end.

Once your account is created, you download your pal to you mobile phone and you're good to go. Currently it's compatible with most Nokia handsets, but imagine this will be avilable on other handsets over time.

I highly recommend you check it out for yourself at moipal.com

This is how mobile games should be! This mobile game ties in with The Bourne Ultimatum movie, the third in the Bourne series starring Matt Damon.

The graphics are smooth and the gameplay exciting. It's got hand to hand combat, gun play and motorcycles. what more can you ask for from a mobile game?

At last, a decent Harry Potter mobile game... Based on the 5th Harry Potter movie 'Harry Potter and The Order of The Pheonix'... Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts is shaping up to be his most dangerous yet. Fearing that Hogwarts' venerable Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about the return of Voldemort in order to undermine his power, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge appoints a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the students.

But Professor Dolores Umbridge's ministry-approved course leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared, so Hermione, Ron and Harry form "Dumbledore's Army" with the goal of preparing themselves and other courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that looms against Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
