Oasys Mobile Customers Can Access Hundreds of Polyphonic and TrueTone Ringtones From Artists Including Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog and Cuban Link

Oasys Mobile, Inc. (OTCBB: OYSM), formerly Summus, Inc., a leading provider of premium mobile media content, products and services, today announced a partnership with The Nickels Group, a digital entertainment production house, to distribute Reggaeton Nation and Death Row Records ringtones on OasysMobile.com.

Through its partnership with The Nickels Group, Oasys Mobile is able to expand its current ringtone offerings to best meet the growing demand for Latino and hip-hop inspired ringtones in both polyphonic and TrueTone formats. Reggaeton Nation, the cult Reggaeton and Latin hip-hop brand founded in 2004, introduced Latin content to the mobile space and includes international superstars such as Cuban Link, Calle 13, Miky Bad Boy and many others. OasysMobile.com will feature more than 400 Reggaeton Nation ringtones.

The partnership also enables Oasys Mobile to distribute more than 150 ringtones from Death Row Records. Founded by Suge Knight in 1992, Death Row Records' mobile arm will give OasysMobile.com customers access to ringtones from hip-hop stars like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Kurupt.

"As the burgeoning Latino community continues to grow, so does the demand for mobile content that represents their musical interests," said Daryl Young, co-founder of The Nickels Group. "By partnering with Oasys Mobile, The Nickels Group is able to share music from Reggaeton Nation and Death Row Records Mobile with the Latino and hip-hop communities. Young, urban consumers are requiring more choices than ever when it comes to ringtones and The Nickels Group and Oasys Mobile are able to meet this need by offering a wide variety of exclusive ringtones that appeal to their musical tastes."

OasysMobile.com is part of a new generation of mobile lifestyle portals where consumers can purchase the latest mobile content - including ringtones, games, wallpaper and more - and safely store them in a virtual "locker" that can be accessed anytime, anywhere. The password-protected lockers give consumers a safe place to store and retrieve their mobile content should they upgrade, lose or break their handsets.

"According to USAToday.com, the U.S. ringtone industry was worth $600 million in 2005, almost twice its worth in 2004. Our strategic partnerships with companies like The Nickels Group allow us to strengthen our breadth of offerings and our leadership in the mobile marketplace," said Gary Ban, CEO of Oasys Mobile. "At OasysMobile.com, we offer our customers access to more than 14,000 unique pieces of mobile content--including ringtones, wallpapers and games--and allow them to buy, own and keep them beyond the life of the cell phone. Our partnership with The Nickels Group is one of several designed to offer a variety of content options to help consumers define and showcase their mobile personalities."
