Your BlackBerry lets you assign specific ringtones to individuals and even create your own phone profiles and exceptions so important calls can still ring through when the device is on vibrate. Here's how.

RIM BlackBerry How To: Set Custom Ringtones, Notification Profiles and Exceptions

Thank you so much!!!!! I have been trying to figure out how to get the blackberry to identify specific e-mail contacts and notify me, rather than to be notified of all incoming e-mails or none.
I knew there had to be a way. I asked countless people, noone knew. I am sure this will be helpful to many others as well.

Can I download ringtones from I-tunes or the internet? Or do I only have available the preloaded ringtones?
Also an instruction BOOK would be most helpful. Findig answers on the internet is very time consuming.
Thanks

I want to hear a different ring from all calls to numbers in my address book, vs. all calls from strangers -- and have done this by adding every address-book name to an exception.
The problem is that every time I put someone new in the address book, it's easy to forget to also add their name to the exception. And it's a minor hassle when you're in the middle of a conversation.
Is there any way to have everything in the address book get a different ring automatically -- even for new numbers added to the address book in the future? (I'm using the Blackberry Curve.)

Is there also an option somewhere to hear tone when an email from a specific contact arrives?
