Nokia and Vringo to Offer Ringtones

Vringo, a video ringtone sharing site, today is expected to announce an agreement with Nokia to make Vringo’s video ringtone application and rich media content available to Nokia device owners through Nokia’s online store, according to MediaPost:

“Through Nokia Download, users can get the Vringo application, then choose from Vringo’s range of rich media content—including video clips, animation, avatars, slides shows, music, greetings and more—to create personalized visual or video ringtones.”

The report said that the Nokia Download Store is available in 17 countries; this move marks the latest in Nokia’s attempt to transform itself into a mobile content distribution company in addition to its handset manufacturing.
