I got tired of my old Nokia junker so I purchased a new cell phone, today. It's an older model, an LG-VX4400, but I've found it's quite hackable. The thing I enjoyed about my old phone (besides the fact that I could talk on it) was that I could put new ring tones into it. However, in order to just get the theme song from the old NES classic, Wizards & Warriors, I had to:
  1. Find the Ringtone (thank you, Google)
  2. Convert it to Nokia Binary
  3. Send Multiple text messages to my phone
  4. Listen to the tune
  5. Usually go back to step one because it was too high or low in tone
Now, I just use a USB cable I got from Radio Shack®. ... I already have photos of my kids and stills from The Matrix and the theme songs from 10 classic video games that I converted from .NSF format to MIDI and copy/pasted into my phone. I've only owned it for 4 hours. Scriptar is happ-aye 8^)
