A Better Mobile Phone User Experience
The powerful sense of touch allows greater realism and intuition in the way people navigate and use their mobile phone, giving full expression to personal taste and lifestyle. VibeTonz-enabled phones can make a necessary difference for people of all ages:

Personalize your phone
Your phone is basically the same as Tiffany's, Beth's and Tom's. It's OK, but it's definitely not cool, because you're just like everyone else. Right now, it's just a phone, not really your phone.

With VibeTonz-enabled ringtones, you get the hip hop and rap songs you love along with cool vibe effects. They let the world know who you are. Your phone. Your song. Your vibe. Now you can show your friends what you are all about. It's unique, different, and, best of all, it's all you.

Feel the message
You're in class and thinking about your girlfriend, but of course you can't just call her up during the lecture. So how do you tell her that she's on your mind?

With VibeTonz-enabled messaging, you can get your point across in a more interesting and personal way. Include the sensation of a "hug" or "heartbeat" in your text message or IM, and without even opening it, she'll know—and feel—exactly what you mean.

Be more entertained
You're really into console gaming. You love Need for Speed and know all the cheats for every level. Last Saturday your parents made you drive with them 100 miles to see your grandparents. They said you could play games on your phone but you had to keep the sound off so it didn't bother them.

With VibeTonz-enabled games, you could download the latest mobile game on the spot and get those cool, embedded vibration effects that feel almost like your gaming console and have more fun, even with the sound off.

Stop talking into thin air
You're having a lengthy conversation with your husband on your mobile phones. You really need him to hear your entire explanation of what happened and to dialog about what should happen next. After relating your story for several minutes, sure that he's taking it all in, you discover that your call has been dropped. You're angry and frustrated. Who knows how long ago you lost him?

With a VibeTonz-enabled phone, a subtle ramp-down cue could have notified you the minute the call dropped, saving you the frustration and wasted time of talking into thin air and then having to figure out where the conversation actually ended.

Stay focused
You have a new babysitter, so you're more concerned than usual, but you've been looking forward to seeing this movie together for quite some time. Of course, you wouldn't dare let your mobile phone ring in the theater, but with the sound off, and the simple vibe available today in cell phones, how will you know who is calling without getting out the phone each time and checking. It's no fun, you've missed the movie and the quality time you wanted to spend together.

With VibeTonz-enabled ringtones, the embedded vibration effect and specific ring for your home phone or the babysitter's mobile phone, lets you identify the important calls and easily ignore the others. You can enjoy the movie and keep in touch.

Reduce clutter
You are stressed to the max. You're on the road working a high-profile account and messages are flying, people trying to reach you at odd hours from all over the world. You were scrolling through your e-mails, looking for one you had saved, and all of a sudden you see one you hadn't noticed. It's from the customer and now 15 hours old. You're going to have to wait another 5 hours before you can talk to them, and that may just be too late. It's maddening, and neither the customer nor your boss is going to be happy.

With VibeTonz-enabled applications, high priority messages or specific senders can be assigned a distinct touch effect, helping you sort through the clutter to stay focused and organized.

Do more with the technology
You like to use technology and make it work for you, and you depend on your phone. It keeps you connected with friends and lets you get the information you're looking for when you can't be on your computer. You're also looking forward to location-based services, especially for making purchases. But the problem is that your phone is not that intuitive. It's hard to get done what you need to, especially when you're in a hurry. You wish browsing, messaging, and task management were easier.

With a VibeTonz-enabled phone, touch sensations could give you intuitive cues when messaging, browsing, and buying. With VibeTonz-enabled applications, items in a list that you haven't selected could feel differently, providing a distinct touch sensation.
