The trend is in fact reversing. Note the growing popularity of folding
handsets, unheard of pre-imode.

I don't appreciate being called a liar. I believe you mean customizing in the
sense of modifying the actual ringtone file whereas I mean customizing in the
more general sense of using more than just the ringtones that came with the
handset, setting different ringtones for different incoming calls/messages,
making my own ringtones and uploading them to the phone (quite easy to do with
software like Keitai-Edi).
