Question: I'm planning to buy a phone. Do they all have equivalent ringtone engines?
Answer: Certainly not. First, not all phones have the possibility to accept personalized ringtones, so search the cell phone that you are looking to buy in the search box above for more info or visit the manufacturer's web site.
Second, within phones that can accept ringtones, not all of them have the same musical and technical features. Some, like most Ericsson phones, make it very easy to input ringtones but are extremely limited musically speaking while others, such as Nokias, are a little more complicated to work with but have great musical features.
To learn more about that, read my article The Best Ringtone Engines Ranked, which lists all phones along with the pros and cons of their ringtone engine.
