App Review - Ringo Ringtone Manager

[mindfawk]

My main reason for posting this review is because I absolutely love this app. For those of you who are ringtone addicts, it's a must have and right now you can get it for 9.98 in the Mobile Heist's that are taking place on one of PMP's affiliate sites! Trust me, 10 bucks is a great buy for this app.

The app lets you set music or sound clips as notifiers for your ringtone, SMS alerts, and e-mails. You can setup a different ringtone for each person in your contact listing - or if you're like me and you have different "contact groups" in your address book, you can setup a separate ringtone for everyone assigned to that group. It allows you to preview the ringtones before you select it and can read from both your device memory and any datacard that you have inserted into the device.

Set your ringtones and e-mail to silent but allow it to notify you when you receive a text message. Set your text messages and e-mails to silent and only allow your phone to ring...the options go on and on. Want your phone to vibrate when it rings? Presto, it can be done! With a click of a button set your device to go into silent mode as soon as it's holstered.

I have tried other ringtone manager applications, and I honestly can say that none of them have ever come close to replacing Ringo which I have used on both my former device - the 8800 world edition, and on my current 8330 curve.

The functionality to set unique ringtones for your contacts is already present. I'm not sure I understand exactly what this program does that cannot already be achieved using the default OS.

You'd have to try out the free trial that is offered to fully appreciate it I guess. Much better than what you do with the default OS.
