My review of Zedge.net

There is a site that I came across sometime last week, totally by accident. And I gotta tell you - I love this place. The place is called “Zedge.net.”
I just love it when I find sites that turn out to be awesome! (That’s how I stumbled upon my software site that I wrote about back in March…)
Zedge.net has free wallpapers, videos, ringtones and also games for your phone. We are talking 100% free. Not “free if you sign up…” Not “Free - for the first 10.” 100% Free!
You just need to sign up for an account - that’s it! You are then part of the community - and you are good to go!
As far as I can see - there are no copyright issues or anything like that. These are ringtones, wallpapers, videos and themes, that users themselves make and upload to the site. As for the games I am not too clear on. I did not see any games that were “for sale” anywhere else. So, I am thinking that the users themselves made them. I was not actually able to find a game for my Blackjack 2 to download and try out, otherwise I would have given you a performance post too. 
Still, Even though Zedge (from what I have read in their TOS) is very strict on their rules and policies as to content and such - I would recommend scanning for viruses - as with ANYTHING that is downloaded from the web, at anyplace, anytime…it should be standard practice. Not everyone in the world has only “good things” to share ya know.
(For those of you that do not know how to scan software for viruses- you just right click on the downloaded program and you should have a “scan with antivirus” option.)
You can also personalize your own phone with their wallpaper maker, voice maker, theme maker, screensaver maker…This I was not able to try out yet. But I will be getting to it sometime this week, as I have a few days of vacation coming up.
The possibilities are endless! And the wallpapers are quality graphics. Here is mine on my smart phone.
This first picture is the graphic I downloaded. The second photo shows how it looks on my phone. I think it’s pretty nice looking! And I got two cool ringtones too! One is a song from South Park (not intended for kids) and the other is “Mission Impossible”….sung by chickens…It’s a riot
Yeah, say it…I am a geek. I can’t help it…
Everything I have downloaded was/is free. Which is such a nice bonus! I know I just hate it when I pay for a graphic for my phone - and the damn thing looks awful! But, I still use it because I paid for the darn thing.
At Zedge.net - you don’t need to worry, if you don’t like the graphic…remove it! Same with the videos, ringtones and whatever else you download.
As for the videos, I did not download any as of today. But I gotta tell you - a lot of them look very adult. There IS an option to filter out the adult stuff, so you don’t have to worry bout the younger kids seeing it all.
And of course you need to be over 13 to join.
Also - you have the option of downloading the content to your phone or computer. This was a very handy feature. And, they support a huge ton of cell phones which is a huge bonus!
I really had fun looking around the site and downloading stuff.
And I really recommend them. Go there and take a peek. I think you will find what you are looking for. I know I did. Add me to your friends list - my profile is here: BlogLady
