German term

Rückstellungsspiele / -ringtöne

German to English Tech/Engineering Telecom(munications) Mobile phones
Es gibt nicht viele gute Wahlen wie Tonkomponist. Auch Rückstellungsspiele sind sehr kleiner. Rückstellungsringtöne sind sehr kleiner, Ikonen, Abbildungen sind sehr kleiner.

I haven't been able to find the exact term for Rückstellung in this context. Any ideas?

Would you be able to refuse this job? That's just about the only thing you can do with this piece of rubbish, IMHO.

Addition I am glad you said that!

This must be a machine translation. The source sentence doesn't make any sense.

The phone has a limited choice of stored games, ringtones, icons etc, plus you can't even compose your own!
What sort of a Handy is that??!!

Lousy on the extras!

agree Steffen Walter : Es gibt nicht viele gute Wahlen wie Tonkomponist - the sound composer/composing feature is quite unique? Otherwise, 'Ringtöne' was probably derived from the Lord of the Rings {SIGH}

I think the text is actually a collection of handwritten notes taken from a phone survey. Whoever wrote the notes though....well! Thank you for taking the time though!"

Since the German is utter nonsense ...

Maybe you should provide a reverse machine translation. This is what Systran came up with:

"There are not many good elections such as clay/tone composer. Also
resetting plays are very smaller. Resetting ring tones are very
smaller, icons, illustrations are very smaller."

Babel Fish suggests:
"There of acres emergency many good elections look for as clay/tone more composer. Thus resetting plays acres very more smaller. Resetting ring of clay/tone of acres very more smaller, icons, illustration acres very more smaller. "

Good luck!
