IMHO, cell phones should never be a status symbol. How much do they cost and what can they do.
OTOH, there is no substitute for horse power. ;-)

I'm behind you both a bit. Well, I was ahead because my Lumia 928 was broken beyond functioning. But after trying 4 different Android phones this past year I just couldn't stand it anymore so I bought a used Lumia 928 for about $80. So that’s my phone and it's such a relief.
I carry a cheap tiny android around for work related apps I need. I don't care about any of the other apps.
Eventually they'll force me out of my Windows Phone but maybe by then someone will come out with a "new" UI - that just happens to be like Windows phone 😉

Did the same fir same reasons. Changed from Windows phone to Android. Don't like it. Auto correct drives me nuts. I created a fake google account just for the phone and turn of any tracking i can find. I don't like it.

Hi Jon
Thanks, I know (or rather: had heard so), but I'm not on iTunes.
And the task was not to create some ringtones, but to find, select, and export those of Windows Phone to the iPhone.

Hi Gustav
You can make any audio file a ringtone using iTunes, it’s how I do all of mine:

Not wishing to be tracked from end to end by evil Google nor messing around with numerous Android versions not being updated by manufacturers, we decided for iPhone 8.

Given, that Apple is preferred by many, if not most, creative people, I was surprised and disappointed to find only a dull selection of ringtones installed. iTunes is not an option for me - Spotify is much better and cheaper too - thus, no ringtones from that source.
