German term or phrase: Rückstellungsspiele / -ringtöne
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?

Explanation:
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??!!

Well you've got to laugh haven't you? I have written a very long letter to the client about the problems with the source text! 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!

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}

Explanation:
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!
