CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
If you're tired of that old cell phone ring and ready to make yourself a Radiohead or Beyonce ringtone, ToneThis is a fair starting point. The freeware application has the muscle to make ringtones (or the higher-quality true tones), video ringtones, or wallpaper out of files in your collection, and send them to your phone or to a friend. It's also dead-easy to operate, letting you select a small segment of a song or video to turn into a ringtone, or crop an image to fit your cell phone's interface. Once selected, the ringtone or image is uploaded to the cell phone carrier, and then downloaded to the phone. You'll also be able to search Flickr from the ToneThis interface for free, legal images to use as wallpaper.
An optional Firefox toolbar, new in version 3.6, helps you cut out the fuss of downloading legal media from the Internet by sending media directly to ToneThis for editing and processing. At least in theory. Our success rate was so variable, we'd almost recommend opting out of its installation entirely, at least until ToneThis' developers can iron out the kinks.
Despite these obvious snags, ToneThis's simpler settings compared with other ringtone software makes it a good fit for novices, and therefore a worthy download. After seeing the toolbar deliver its promised functionality, we'd like to see a few more features, especially more controls for exacting ringtone-length. ToneThis is supported by advertising, but no nagging pop-up ads. To rid yourself of ads and to get advanced betas and premium ringtones and mobile games, a pro version can be procured for $20. ToneThis works with specific carriers, countries, and phone models--it's wise to check the Web site before installing to make sure your phone is supported.

Version: ToneThis 2.62
Cons: You just wasted my time with your application download and installation. It did not work and would not install after two attempts.
Also, I have the latest DirectX software on my computer, which is required to run this ringtone application, and it still did not work.
I hate these "free" programs that end up wasting my time and energy.
Download at own risk, or better yet, DONT!

Version: ToneThis 2.62
Pros: This is great software. I had a problem installing it due to a DirectX problem. When I requested assistance, they responded within a day. They have fixed the DirectX problem in Version 2.63 (available at the publisher's website). Great service!
I love being able to create my own ringtones. This is such a fun product... and for free! My carrier has a charge for online access, but otherwise you pay nothing!
