This seems like it would be a neat idea.* It really does. Instead of listening to a phone ring, all of your friends can listen to some top 40 song while they wait for you to answer your phone. It's an idea that the Verizon dude with the glasses came up with when he wasn't stalking some chick with 800 of his friends. The dude overhead in the helicopter is a co-conspirator.
* False.
First off, I don't like that song. No one does. I promise.
Secondly, and less forgiveable, the sound quality is just atrocious. It sounds like someone took a shower radio, put it in the shower, ran the shower, activated the shower radio, then absconded some sort of crappy tape recorder, circa 1992; placed it under the sink, (ran the sink), and hit record. Once recording was finished, they dropped the tape in the toilet, recovered it, then sold it to Verizon.
Verizon then played the tape back in one of those real old MACs with a cassette drive, plugged one speaker into the audio port and the other into the printer port, placed the computer and speakers in a post office box near the airport, placed earmuffs on a microphone, then held that microphone up to the window of the plane as they rolled past the post office box.
Then they made it play in my ear.
I'll stick with texting.
