Verizon Launches Sweet Flex Based Ringtone Store
Wed, 2008-05-07 17:13 — mikepotter
Verizon recently launched an awesome new Flex based online store for selling ringtones. The Verizon Media Store allows users to easily browse available ringtones and "ringback" tones, and to purchase them for Verizon mobile devices. Prices appear to range from $1.99 to $2.99, depending on the song, with some "Jukebox" items available for $6.99. (A Jukebox appears to be a bundle of ringtones or ringback tones.)
The store is well done - a great example of using Flex to build a compelling user experience.

Great news thanks for the
Great news thanks for the info :)
It could be a much better
It could be a much better site if they get rid of the over-the-top animations.
The animations don't contribute anything to the experience and aren't particularly smooth. Big distraction that gets in the way of usability.
It is a shame. What would otherwise be a great site, is suffering from Flash bling, the kind of gratuitous bling people have long hated about Flash.
Could be a nice site. Unusable due to the irritation factor. Another site that gives Flash a bad name.
