Now if only you could set different tones for different people and services.
You can in 4.2b3.
Hmm... Might be interesting. I never found any of the original sounds to be better than the tritone.
I want something that can wake me out of a dead sleep.
While I do like the tritone, when I'm expecting an important text message it would be nice to have something more "abrupt and annoying." Just seems the options now aren't something that can do that for me.
Listen to the tones (Gizmodo link)
Honestly, they're too long, they sound more like ringtones, now.
MacRumors bot beat you, OP:

Look, ALL I want to be able to do is to have my SMS tone for certain people be the same as the ringtone I have for those same people (only shorter) just like I had on my POS cell phone circa 1997.
Now why that is SUCH a strain on the imagination of Steve Jobs is beyond me...![]()
And, look, if YOU don't want to do that, I'm OK with it. I won't FORCE you to to adopt my approach. Just don't force ME to have to hear the same #$%&^ tone when I'm out in public and watch 15 people all reach for their iPhone at the same time because it's impossible to tell whose *&^&*#@ phone it is...
Yes, this one really DOES frost my cookies!![]()
