hey all

for the website owner or anyting--its just a good site for dealing with a
very cool phone that verizon has crippled.

Having used my 4400B now for a couple of weeks I can say that it just what I
need(ed) except for one thing: is there anywhere I can get a 'business-like'
ring tone?  Has anyone found one that would be suitable for a business
