My neighbor at work drives me up the wall playing with his cellphone. I have to listen closely to it to be able to tell that it's not 5 WPM CW. ;-) (And it's just the right pitch to sound sort of like a navaid beacon on the aviation bands too .. which gets my brain really confused.)
Many Nokia cell phones' "Loud and Long" ring tone setting sends "Connecting People" in 5 WPM CW.
Always wondered the history behind that... hams at Nokia? :-)
