Imagine a scenario (true this isn't very likely but still). You've just lost your friend on the phone and you're going "Hello? Hello?" trying to see if you can hear them, putting your finger in your other ear listening carefully. Your friend then rings back (as you're listening for him). It comes full volume, full pelt, right into your earhole.

Well still its a bad decision of SE, cause before the telephone rings, it vibrates at first, so even if you have the phone next to your ear there wouldn't be any problem cause first you would be scared fo the vibration  and then it would ring, and then you already removed your phone from your ear and pushed Answer
SE really don't know what they are doing, there is no motivation to their decision! |

I think this is a very useful feature. I do not like sudden loud noises. When I am reading a book in a quiet place i would hate it when my phone would ring loud, turn the volume down and I can not hear it in the car. This phone has solved those problems for me.;-)

All this phone did is take away the annoyences of constant ajustments to the ring volume, for me anyway. I am in alot of different situations on any given day so I do not have time to fiddle with settings. Was it ill thought out to make this feature unajustable
on se's part, maybe but it still suit me very well.

anyways, its here. it's stupid. but there are ways to cope:
1. stretch out the number of rings before voicemail picks up (carrier specific; carrier codes) then....
2. add 2 "rests" before the ringtone using a MIDI editor (anvilstudios.com)then...
3.increase the volume of the ringtone (psmplayer)

I like this feature for the same reason obsixx mentioned above; it saves the sudden loud noise of my phone ringing out when I'm not expecting it. I honestly fail to see everyones problem with it.
Those that think it's the increasing ring function that causes it, and it cannot be disabled whatever you set it to in the menu are just wrong. The feature we are talking about here gets to your predefined volume in about 2-3 seconds, where as increasing ring starts off with just a few quiet beeps, and takes abot 15 seconds to get to full volume. How can the possibility of not hearing your phone for the first couple of seconds such be a major problem that causes so much debate?
Also, think about it from SE's point of view. These days we live in a world where people sue companies over the silliest little things ... such as their phone damaging their ear when it started ringing.  SE must believe that this feature is worth while just to stop their phone users taking such action.
