The Saga Continues: Cingular Introduces More Exclusive Star Wars
Content, Just in Time for May 19th Debut of Star Wars: Episode III
Revenge of the Sith ATLANTA, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Cingular
customers have been enjoying a compelling suite of Star Wars mobile
content since earlier this year. From ringtones to graphics to
voice tones to games, Cingular is the only U.S. carrier to offer
exclusive wireless access to official content based on the entire
Star Wars saga, including the sixth and final installment Star
Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Today Cingular is pleased to
announce several new additions to its already impressive
collection. "With the much anticipated film debut of Star Wars:
Episode III Revenge of the Sith just one day away, Cingular
Wireless is thrilled to continue to drive the excitement of Star
Wars to the small screen -- the wireless phone," said Jim Ryan,
vice president of consumer data services, Cingular Wireless. What's
New? Cingular continues to enhance its suite of downloadable Star
Wars content, which already includes music tones, voice tones of
movie quotes, sound effect tones, mobile games, animated
screensavers, colorful wallpaper graphics and MMS greeting cards.
New to Cingular's collection of official Star Wars content are: -
Chocolate M-Pire Graphics: A colorful assortment of wallpaper
graphics based on Star Wars-themed characters created by
M&M'S(R) Brand Chocolate Candies. For just $1.99, Cingular
customers can now download some of their favorite M&M'S
Characters in the Chocolate M-Pire including Blue as Han Solo,
Yellow as Darth Vader, Orange as Chewbacca, Red as Anakin
Skywalker, Green as Princess Leia and many more. - Original Voice
Tones: Cingular customers can replace their current ringtone with
an original Star Wars voice tone that includes recordings by Darth
Vader, Yoda, C-3PO and General Grievous. Instead of the standard
"ring, ring," replace it with a directive from Yoda: "Through the
force you should communicate, not this crude device." Or hear the
pessimistic C-3PO say: "I do recommend you pick up this urgent
transmission, or we're doomed." Cingular customers can choose from
more than 20 specially-recorded Star Wars Voice Tones at just $1.99
each. - Star Wars: Trivia: Cingular customers can test their
knowledge of the Star Wars universe and compete with other galactic
fans via their wireless phone in Star Wars: Trivia. By answering
timed, detail- oriented questions based on the Star Wars films,
characters and events, such as "Who was Jabba the Hutt's chief
aide?" Cingular customers can prove they are the ultimate fan. The
cost to download the game is $5.99. - Star Wars: Puzzle Blaster:
This addictive puzzle game immerses players in the Star Wars
universe in this fun update to the classic, blockbuster game,
Snood. The goal is to line up three or more Star Wars characters to
clear the screen while dodging Snoods. The game can be played solo
or with multiple players. Cingular customers can also post high
scores to maintain bragging rights. The cost to download is $5.99.
Still Sizzling - Cingular Star Wars RAZZ Headset: Last month,
Cingular began selling the Star Wars RAZZ Headset, a unique,
limited edition mobile accessory preloaded with 10 famous sound
clips from the Star Wars saga that can be inserted into live
conversations, voicemails and outgoing messages when using a
Cingular wireless phone. Retailing for $24.99, the Star Wars RAZZ
sound clips include Obi Wan's "The Force will be with you;"

power of the Dark Side." - Exclusive Sony Ericsson Preloaded
