BlackBerry Bold to feature Stewart Copeland Ringtones

News this morning that RIM has hired Stewart Copeland, the former drummer for The Police to create a soundtrack of ringtones and alerts for the BlackBerry Bold 9000.

“RIM commissioned Copeland to come up with a unique ‘theme’ for its just-launched smartphone. The result was a signature five-note melody which Copeland expanded into a percussive minute-long track simply named ‘Bold’ that’s preloaded (along with mock-up album art!) into the Bold’s ‘Sample Songs’ folder.

A softer version with an fade-in is used as an ‘alarm tone’ to gently rouse the Bold owner from his or her slumber, while six variations – which are actually excerpts form various parts of the Bold theme – are available as ring tones.”
