The 99c ringtone I purchased was Candy Shop by 50 cent. It wasn't even an MP3, it was a polyphonic version.

I lost the phone not long after.

True, I normally have violent, physical reactions to other people's taste in music.

it's not someone's taste in music, it's music that was forced in public spaces for the entirety of 00s.

I'm pretty sure that if you were forced to listen to the music that was my "taste in music" back then over a thousand times every time you left the house, you'd have a visceral reaction too.

Was it a Nokia 3200? I swear that was the phone for polyphonic ringtones.

Loads of them had it.

It was definitely a Nokia. You were mad to use anything else back in the day, although I did move to Windows Mobile before the iPhone and then Android were released.
