ereks mom Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) For the past 2 years, I've had a BlackBerry, and I truly LOVE it, but my brother just got an iPhone 4S, and Siri is so COOL! I am due for an upgrade now, and I am considering an iPhone (although I would feel like a traitor!). Probably my favorite feature on my BlackBerry is that I can designate specific ringtones for each contact, and even the kind of alert for each contact: text, call, etc. For example, when dh calls me, the Monday Night Football theme plays & when he texts me, my BlackBerry plays a BlackBerry alert called "GungHo"; when ER calles me, the Scooby Doo theme plays & when he texts me, there's a BlackBerry alert called "Dimples", and so on for every contact I've designated. I find this incredibly convenient, because I can tell who is calling or texting just by hearing the alert--dh, ER, EK, my mom, my sister--and if I hear the "standard" ringtone or alert sound (which I also designate), I know it's not one of my "VIP's" trying to get in touch with me without even having to look at my BlackBerry to see the photo of the caller. So... I have a dumb question: does iPhone do that? Edited March 24, 2012 by ereks mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Not a dumb question. And, yes you can! I love my iPhone!!! I use Siri all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 My mom feels like a traitor too as she loves her Blackberry but she is getting an iPhone for her next phone also after playing with my daughter's and mine. My hubby has the new iphone4. We sit around asking her all sorts of inappropriate questions (Do you love me? Are you a genius? Will you go out with me? What are you wearing?). But hubby uses her for real also. Anyway, I hesitated on getting an iPhone. Hubby finally just went out and bought me one. It was good, very good :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura in CA Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Siri ROCKS!!!! :D I got an iPhone last month after waiting years. I use Siri all the time. In fact I used her to type this message, ha ha ha! :) ETA: And yes, I think you can customize ringtones, but I haven't explored that yet. I know the default is different sounds for calls vs texts. Oh, I did change the ringtone to an old-fashioned phone, but haven't customized it for different people yet.

So... I have a dumb question: does iPhone do that? Yes, the iPhone can do that. My sisters, my mom and my dh all have their own ringtones. :) My dh has had a Blackberry provided to him through work for the last several years, and he never uses it. He carries his iPhone that we pay for out of pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellers Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I switched from a Blackberry Bold to an iPhone 4S and have no regrets! I love my iPhone! My DH is getting ready to dump blackberry too, but I think he's going to get a droid. Make the switch! The only thing I miss about my BB is BBM.

oldskool Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I just switched from a Blackberry to an iPhone 4s. There are certain things that I miss about my Blackberry, but I love the iPhone and would not go back. The problem I have is that my kids always have my phone now. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTwinsMom1 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Love my iPhone here also. Yes, you can customize both ring tones and text tones for each person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I switched from a BB to an iPhone about 6 months ago. I love it, and I wouldn't go back to a BB. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
