ne pas traduire, c'est un nouveau gadget de nokia
Explanation:
The Nokia 3300 is the first mobile phone for the GSM markets supporting True Tones, which provide ring tones with real music, allowing users to have songs, nature sounds, special effects and engine sounds as ring tones to alert them of an incoming call.
To experience the sound quality, the user can enjoy preloaded music samples as well as preloaded ring tones, both polyphonic and new True Tones.

véritable tonalité


Explanation:
Je crois qu'il s'agit d'un téléphone très "fancy" qui non seulement joue de la musique quand il sonne mais peut faire des accords. Je n'ai pas trouvé d'équivalents en anglais, alors je pense qu'il faut traduire tel quel.

Autrement, "true tone" est souvent synonyme de "touch-tone". J'ai vu des descriptions de téléphones qui disaient "rotary or true tone", qui, pour le moment, sont les deux seules possibilités.

S\'il s\'agit de la technologie True Tone, ne pas traduire. Mais s\'il s\'agit d\'une description, il FAUT traduire.
