back to article Nokia offers $10,000 for new ring tone

Nokia is looking for a new ring tone, and offering $10,000 to anyone who can come up with something the next Dom Joly can use to annoy people. The tone can't be entirely original, it must be a variation of the familiar Nokia tones, but the company is hoping for something a little updated and hip to go with its new identity …

    Psycho...

    Thanks TheRegister

    This is definitely a bit of fun. I went ahead and created a few ringtones myself... but they are nothing compared to some of the truly awesome professional-sounding tunes others have put up there!

    What the hell, it seems like a bit of fun...

    Read the article today, got the guitar out, and added my own Nokia tone variation to the contest. So if you want to listen to an entry by a fellow The Register reader, the link is:

    click on # column header to order by entry, and the entry is 662 Nokia Foot Tapping Acoustic Guitar

    or the direct link is:

    Be careful with the audio volumes on that site, I cannot work out where the volume control is on their player (so some tunes might be loud).

      What the hell?

      Nice strumming but... I don't hear anything resembling the Nokia theme...?

    "Nice strumming but... I don't hear anything resembling the Nokia theme...?"

    Thanks for the feedback, perhaps I made it too subtle.

    I quite like someone else's entry 665 Gran Vals Pub Gig - which isn't subtle at all!

    It's a fun contest, and a popular one. I uploaded my entry mid-afternoon yesterday and it was entry 662, mid morning today and the entry count is 1027.
