george Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 You’re going to love or hate Nokia’s new default ringtone Nokia’s hunt for a new modern ringtone for its upcoming smartphone handsets has come to an end, after Italian DJ Valerio Alessandro Sizzi recorded, submitted and won the Nokia Tune competition with a 24-second dubstep-inspired version of the iconic Nokia ringtone we have come to know and love. Nokia says that the new tone, named Nokia Tune Dubstep Edition, will be preloaded on more than 100 million handsets worldwide, providing Sizzi with a $10,000 prize for winning the contest. The sound received 1,000 likes on Facebook and beat off 6,200 other entries to claim top spot and a place in Nokia’s mobile history. Sizzi explains the decision to enter the competition and why he submitted his dubstep-inspired creation: “I found out about this competition on one of my teachers’ blogs and said ‘why not? let’s try’. I made a dubstep version of the Nokia Tune because the style has become massively popular during the last two years. I just thought that a sparkling, cool version of the Nokia Tune would attract young customers.” You’re probably wanting to hear the new ringtone, we know already that it will divide opinion. Here it is, the new default Nokia tone: MP3 sound file: http://brandbook.nokia.com/servlet/file/Nokia_Tune_Dubstep_Edition.mp3?uploadfile=realm_1/user_407/Nokia_Tune_Dubstep_Edition.mp3 Nokia Sound Design Manager Tapio Hakanen details why the Sizzi’s dubstep-inspired sounds won the competiton: “The winner represents very much the sound of now with its energetic dubstep take on the Nokia Tune. It uses the 24-second running time cleverly having a clear intro, mid section and ending, all sitting nicely next to each other. This was one of the many examples of the Nokia Tune’s melodic flexibility.” Ever wondered where the Nokia tune originally came from? We looked into its history in our comprehensive article here.

Gary A Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I seriously doubt that anyone is going to buy a Nokia phone because of that ring tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Nokia's problem isn't that people will love or hate this new ringtone. Nokia's problem is that nobody cares. Though I have to say, they did pick a particularly awful tune. I like dubstep but... <deleted>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petedk Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Have you ever noticed that some people don't bother to answer the phone? They just sit there looking at it until the caller stops ringing. Drives me crazy sometimes. Can you imagine this tune blaring away on the MRT, BTS or in a restaurant because the owner can't be bothered to answer?

The only person talking this up is a new signup with 2 posts Also: Can't spell, yet perfect reproduction of the official marketing name for this tune, presumably so it will show on google searches. Jeez Nokia can't even get their online opinion making / lobbying right. Who do you work for? Edited October 14, 2011 by nikster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSnapper Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 You guys/gals do know you can change the ringtone yeah ? Not necessary. It's not the default ring tone, it is just one of many you can choose from. It's crappy, yes, but no reason to start another meaningless "Nokia is doomed" thread. The kiddies will certainly like it and the rest of the world can just ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Some people are able to make an issue out of nearly anything. For those ignorant about Nokia ring tones, you can add or delete hundreds or maybe even thousands of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSnapper Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 It is a good example how false news are spread and finally end up in ThaiVisa. The default ringtone is here: http://brandbook.nokia.com/servlet/file/2011a_NokiaTune.mp3?uploadfile=realm_1/user_407/2011a_NokiaTune.mp3&download=true'>http://brandbook.nokia.com/servlet/file/2011a_NokiaTune.mp3?uploadfile=realm_1/user_407/2011a_NokiaTune.mp3&download=true And it was clear that the dubstep version was just the winner of a competition. It will be included in future models as one of many choices. http://brandbook.nokia.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s always been the intent that the winning entry would sit next to our default tune, not replace it."
