Although the strength of the ring grew too much for him in the end, and he succumed to the corruption, he ulitimatley triumphed.
When his finger was bitten off, Frodo wrestled Gollum for the ring, and through his courage, he pushed Gollum off into the firey chasms.
Interesting point Frodos-Guide. But that is the film verison you described. In the Book, Gollum starts dancing with joy and 'mistakenly' slips and falls into the chasm.
Also, if you look at the ROTK:EE documentaries, there is a documentary that says that they didn't want Frodo to look as if he was a murderer (i.e. pushing Gollum into the chasm), but more as if he was trying to regain the ring for himself and making Gollum accidentally fall into the chasm.
