Nokia Goes Dubstep With New Ringtone

Uh oh. In its ongoing attempt at re-branding itself as a company for the modern age, Nokia decided to crowdsource the development of a new standard ringtone with something called the Nokia Tune Contest. The winning submission as determined by over 1,000 Facebook likes? A "dubstep" monstrosity by the gentleman pictured above, of course.

Dubstep can be great to be sure, but let's just say the sort of obnoxious, pissing contest-fueled bass wobbling embodied by this new ringtone isn't the kind of thing we'd want emanating from our pockets in public anytime soon.

Get a listen to "Nokia Tune Dubstep Edition," soon shipping on over 100 million Nokia phones, below. If you want to feel sad and nostalgic, here is the classic version.
