Forget all the talk about customizing cars. Now people yearning to put their personal amp on things are tricking out their cellphones. And savvy users know that doesn't mean just adding ringtones.

These days customers can upload graphics to use as screensavers that cover the front screens of their phones, or as wallpaper that decorates the rear screens. They can download games that will get them through boring stretches. They can install LED keypads that glow red, blue, or green. Or they can change the outsides of their cellies' housing, covering their phones with shimmering crystals or adding faceplates in a rainbow of colors.

People from teens to seniors are looking for ways to make their phones reflect their ever-changing personalities.
