alls you gotta do is make sure the contact is saved onyour phone memory
and pick their ringer id, and make sure the sms and mms tones are
different from that ringer id so as to not have any confusion, if the
contact is in your sim then you cant give em a ringer id or anything
else like that

Yeah, I understand how it works... but the thing is, that the ringer ID ALSO
overrides any sms/mms tones I set elsewhere in the phone. So when I recieve
a sms from that person, the ringer ID tone will be used, and continue
rigning until I read the message!

I just think that this is a major bug in the firmware - one that Motorola
really should do something about, as any other phone out there does this
properly!
