This one specific topic was touched many times by Nokia N900 users for quite some time. eSpeacCaller was pretty good for me, but not sufficient for everyone  Now there is a solution for assigning custom ringtone to contacts from you phone book, only thing you have to do is installing mysterious Custom ringtones for your contacts application

After you have it installed for every contact in your phone book you can open Change custom ringtone settings from menu. When you open it you have choice from standard ringtones available on your N900 or you can choose any sound that you have in memory by pressing ‘More’ button, just like for standard ringtones for calls and messages.

As for me it wasn’t a big problem, I was handling this situation for over half a year without any problem, but it’s good to go back to some old habits, knowing who’s calling just by a ringtone. For some it’s more convinient to have it instead of synthesizer telling aloud your contacts names or nicknames. Finally we have one of the most wanted features in this high-end piece of electronics. Enjoy!
