During the recently ended CTIA in San Francisco, Verizon Wireless has launched Facebook application called Ringback Buddies, which allows users to browse, purchase and manage their ringback tones and jukeboxes while on the site. In addition, the top 10 lists of tones and jukeboxes are there to sample or buy, and users can also share their favorite tones with other Facebook users.
If you’re on Verizon, simply search “ringback” on Facebook to find and install the application. When on Verizon’s Facebook Page, click on the “music” tab under “Featured Applications” to access Ringback Buddies.
The application is free, but individual ringback tones costs $1.99 per year (stupid licensing). Additionally, using ringback tones will costs you 99-cent per month on Verizon.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
