I noticed this post over on <a href="http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news2622.html">CoolSmartphone</a> a while ago and filed it in my to be posted folder, but it seems to have been forgotten about. AT&amp;T Labs has a <a href="http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php">web page</a> that will convert whatever you type into spoken word. This allows you to create some extra cool custom ringtones for your device. I created <a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20061006-CustomRingtone.wav">this personalized ringtone</a> that I'll be mandating all Smartphone Thoughts News Editors use for me."</i><br /><br />This is incredibly geeky, yet neat if used for the right purpose. I've created custom spoken ringtones for each type of incoming message (for example, e-mail, SMS, MMS, voice message, etc.), so I know exactly what is sent to my device each time. It beats a standard universal notification sound, hands down. :)

Oh, I love my new english alerts read in a cute French accent...

this sounded really cool and I hope there is still a way to get it to work. My problem is that I turn my sound off for the most
part. I don't want to constantly hear meeting notifications going off all the time. The phone rings and that's an interuption I do want...but I would rather it be a voice like this service
