In 1928, the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation was founded, and the name was changed to Motorola in 1947. The company had been using the  trademark for many years by that point, due to their main product  being car radios. At the time, “-ola” was a popular suffix for music- related products such as the Radiola, the Victrola, and even the  jukebox called the Rock-Ola. Motorola was chosen because of its  automotive usage.

Motorola has specialized in radio-related products, the first of  which was a battery eliminator for radios, meaning a radio could be  plugged into a power source instead of depending on batteries to  work. Other products throughout the years included walkie-talkies for  civilians and the military, a number of computer-related  equipment such as integrated circuits, and microprocessors used in Apple Macintosh computers. In many ways, however, Motorola is best  known for its interesting variety of quality cell phones.

For those with one of Motorola’s many cell phones — perhaps a ROKR, V3, or a PEBL — it is possible to download customizable content with ring tones, graphics, MP3 ring tones, games, applications,  and groovetunes. It all depends on the service providers (Cingular, Verizon or T-Mobile) one has, and the type of phone, both of which are determined before content can be downloaded.

There are a few different types of ring tones available for  download. Often the most popular and best quality tones are the MP3  ring tones, which care basically downloads of real music clips. The  offerings available through the Motorola website are a good  selection, including rock songs, country songs, hip-hop, Latin, and  pop, as well as holiday and seasonal ring tones.

There are other sections for more specific  MP3 ring tone  categories: “In Love,” which features songs like “You Had Me From  Hello” by Kenny Chesney and “She Will Be Loved” by Maroon 5; a “Get  It On!” section with downloads for “Freek-A-Leek” by Petey Pablo and  TLC’s “Red Light Special”; and, of course, the “Break Up” section,  where those heavy-hearted mobile subscribers can hear Justin Timberlake sing “Cry Me a River” with every incoming song, and every  heartbreaker can dance a little to “Better Off Alone” by Alice Deejay.

For those with cell phones lacking the capabilities for MP3 ring  tone playback, there are smaller, more streamlined ring tones to  download. For more utilitarian alerts, there are monophonic ring  tones: they tend to be very short, computer-made sequences that only  plays one note at a given time.

Polyphonic ring tones are similar in that they are made using a  computer, but can often be sequenced to play several notes at a given  time, often using different computer-synthesized instruments. The  difference between a polyphonic ring tone and an MP3 ring tone is  that MP3 ring tones have the capacity for the addition of lyrics, whereas polyphonic ones do not.

For those with latent desires to be small-scale DJs, there are  GrooveTunes. They are very similar to polyphonic ring tones, except  that they are formatted in such a way that they can be remixed to suit the tastes of the mobile owner. The songs are generally not  specific songs like those that might be topping various music charts  right now. Instead, they are layers of beats and rhythms that can be  put together to make different sounds.

Using GrooveTunes is simple enough for the mobile phones that are MotoMixer-enabled. First, after determining whether or not a specific  cell phone can handle GrooveTunes, a song is picked and paid for. A  text message is sent to the phone, which holds the link to download  the song onto the phone. When the song is put into MotoMixer, it is  then possible to rework the song to sound a little different than it  already is, or completely change the entire thing.

Besides having a cell phone that works with the specific ring tones,  it is required to have a cell phone that is capable of both getting a  text message and surfing the web. Otherwise, downloading the ring  tones are significantly more difficult. The price for any ring tone  is generally either $2.00 or $3.00. There are other websites that  have ring tones that will work on a Motorola handset, but it requires  some searching at times to find good quality ones. So if you happen to dislike searching around, take a look at the Motorola website, or  even the website for the company providing the monthly service for  the cell phone.
