Here’s a nice present to go under your handheld tree - holiday ringtones for your BlackBerry. You’ll need to have one of the polyphonic BlackBerry devices to be able to use them.

Bring up a browser and go to http://mobile.blackberry.com and click on Holiday Ringtones for Polyphonic Devices. Then wade through the 8 pages of terms and conditions and click “I agree” and you’ll be presented with 12 ringtones ranging from Auld Lang Syne to Silver Bells. Be careful if you’re in a quiet place (like a library) - the tones take a few seconds to download and then start playing automatically.

If you’re lucky enough to be using version 4.1 of the handheld code, you can assign different ringtones to each contact - that way you’ll know who is calling without taking your device out of its holster.
