Have your phone sing your first name as a ringtone
Spanish Olemovil offers TONO NOMBRES, a very personalized ringtone service, enabling your phone to sing out a little song calling your name, whenever it rings.
You have to download the application or send it to a friend as a surprise. Let's say she's called Vanessa. Next time she gets a call, her mobile will sing "Vanessa, someone's calling you, Vanessa,pick up the phone!". [via Noticias].

-- Spring PCS gets name ringers - If you thought ringtones were annoying, how about a phone which calls you by your first name, saying “Amy… Amy… Amy… Oh, Amy… Pick up the phone.” According to Mobile Tracker, Sprint PCS is offering just that. They call them “name ringers”, a collection of ringtones made just for people with common names. (It only works for common names as they have to make the ringtones, it's not a voice synth).
