different ring-tones for different callers?

Just a quickie - can anyone point me at a phone where you can
associate a different ring tone with a calling number. What I'd
like to do is have one RT for one person, a different one for
someone else and so on.
That way I can tell who's calling without having to pull the
phone out of my pocket to check the number.

Any leads?

Most older Nokias will do it, dunno if particular benefit has been
'upgraded'!

The Vodafone 710 does (Thats a special phone made for Vodafone;
see website for more info). The 720 is replacing the 710 at this
moment.

But will you remember without fail which RT means which person?

Well, my k810i can be set to play the voice dialling tag of the caller
on an incoming call from them, which would seem a good solution to that
problem.
