Case in point, would it be possible to make an application for custom
ringtones for contacts? This is a request made very often by users of the
N900.

As you response readily implies a 'no', the 'not yet' means how long? I
mean, PR1.2 has something for it? Is it planned for some release, or what?
Wouldn't that be very very simple to code in the phone call library?

Sorry for being too inquisitive and I know Nokia does not give dates. But I
just want to know if it's worth spending my time on this issue.

Thanks in advance,
