ring tones for free.

Zingy, Nextel, Motorola in ring-tone deal
Thursday January 23, 12:03 pm ET

LOS ANGELES, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Zingy, a ring-tone
provider, said on Thursday it reached a deal to power
polyphonic ring-tones for Nextel Communications Inc.(NasdaqNM:NXTL - News)
wireless phones from Motorola Inc. (NYSE:MOT - News)

Polyphonic ring-tones are richer, fuller sounding
compositions than traditional monophonic ring-tones -- the
jingles that play on cellphones.
Zingy will offer hundreds of new polyphonic song titles to
Nextel subscribers who use the Motorola handsets, allowing
wireless users to personalize the sound of their phones.
"Polyphonic ring tones give our customers' phones a
sophisticated and personalized sound," said Eileen Mercilliott,
director of product management at Nextel. "Nextel users are
successful and professional, but still value features that
allow them to show a bit of personality in their
communications."
