Vringo

Vringo has launched version 2.0 of its popular video ringtone application for Symbian- and J2ME-enabled phones. The most important change is in the user interface — i.e. new mobile browser — which allows users to more easily find and share video ringtones.

From the official release:

Vringo 2.0 turns the ringtone on its head in numerous ways. In addition to enabling high-quality video, the application makes it simple for users to record and share their own original ringtone via their phones’ cameras. In addition, Vringo’s social VringForward technology puts a spin on the traditional ringback tone by letting users select the ringtones their friends will see when they call.

Vringo 2.0 was already available on a limited basis last month, and won the acclaim of CNET Download. Now it’s widely available from Vringo’s website, with version for Windows Mobile devices coming later this month…
