It can use mp3 and wav sound with this feature, just not as obvious as PA. I am using them right now. Here is the steps you need to do to use with the WM5 default mechanism (unchecked the tool version):

1. Upload your favorite mps or wav sound to the phone.
2. goto Settings -> Sound & Notifications, hit the Manage tab and Menu -> Add, to import the mp3 or wav to the list.
3. Same window and hit the Notifications tab. In the Event window using the pull down menu to select the following options, make sure to check Play sound option and select the tune you just imported:

Messaging: New e-mail message
Messaging: New text message
Phone: Misssed call
Phine: Voice mail

4. Make sure in your PS, check to play sound in those events. I skip MMS since officially there is no MMS in Treo 700WX and Sprint version is not really MMS anyway so I only has four icons enabled as above.

Edit: If you want to use the notification mechanism within the tool, then you must copy your mp3/wav/wma files manually to \Windows directory and they will be available to the PS menu pulldown afterwards. Use above method through the system would not work as the OS copies the files to \Windows\Rings directory and appearantly PS does not scan that directory.

i downloaded it yesterday and have been playing around with it....for the most part its ok....i like the functions of it and how it can be intergrated into mobile shell....i dislike the huge amount space it takes, not able to use mp3 for sounds and i still dont know how to change the profiles to what i want.....im going to keep playing with it but looks like PA is here to stay

I like it pretty well. I have one major gripe. There seems to be no way to make new email/sms notifications repeat. That is the main reason I use Phonealarm. I often miss the first notification.

So, am I missing some setting somewhere, or is there no setting?

Also, seems no way to change the ringer with different profiles.

There is a setting called Phone Notifications which allows for repeat notifications. Can someone explain this setting to me? Maybe it's what I'm looking for.

Question for everyone...in the Call Filtering...if I put a phone number on the black list, will that block SMS messages from that number as well...? Or does it just block the phone calls...?

[CozBoogie]

I believe it just blocks the calling.

If you've already paid for Phone Suite it shouldn't ask you to pay again. Fire off an email to SPB and tell them about the situation. They'll take care of it for you.

Download the trial and use the serial number you have to register it. It should still work with 1.1.1. It will probably work with all 1.x.x versions as they come out.
