MP3 Text Notification???

FWIW, Handcent SMS will let you assign different notification tones (and notification bar icons) to different contacts. Though it likes to look in your ringtone folder for the sounds (I really should read the manual... :D)

HTH,

Well I like the idea of assigning notifications to different contacts, but I'm not a fan of the bubble text style. Know of anything that just assigns tones to individual contacts?

You can change the setting so that it is just a thread style. Go to Handcent SMS > Menu > Settings > Custom Style > Bubble Settings > Conversation Style.

I didn't like the bubble style either, looks childish and hard to read.

does anyone know if it's possible to send the default notifications to another Sprint phone?
Get a file manager such as astro and navigate to

/system/media/audio/notifications

Long press on the one you want. Then hit "Copy"

Navigate back to your SDcard and longpress then hit "Paste". Now you have the .mp3 file to send however you like.

Sorry about this, I'm sure I'll sound like a noob, but how do you make the file tree...

I did this via removing the sd card and installing it on a card reader. I was installing data from my stock card to my 16g card at the time...Accessed the sd card and made a file called media. Opened media file and made another file called audio. Opened the audio file and continued the process. Hope that helps...
