Oh how I want custom SMS tones. I use my iPhone as a pager for work. So, any alerts I get for a page come through as a text message. The "electronic" alert seems to wake me, but I wish it was longer. At least, I wish I could customize it to be longer.
Hopefully one of these new SMS alerts is longer. 5-10 seconds would be good.
Crap, teach me not to read more of the thread. I'm just now seeing the link to the gizmodo video on the new alerts. This is almost exactly what myself and a number of coworkers were looking for. I'll be changing my alert to either bloom or fanfare. Whichever is longer.
These alerts are way too long for someone that gets a lot of text messages. For someone that uses their iPhone as a work pager and it has to wake them up at 1:00 am, it is almost perfect. If we could customize the alerts to keep going off every minute or so, then it would be perfect.
These new alerts put a big smile on my face.
