I'm new to the android world. I came over from a blackberry, can anyone tell me if there is a profile app that can distinguish email notification from a sms text notification, like turn one off and leave one on? Or is the notification sound all one sound only? Also how do you make a downloaded sound a notification? I have the HTC DESIRE through Alltel. Please help! Thanks!
 
Most email programs will have custom notifications in the settings. You should be able to change the notification sound right in the app itself.

The stock SMS program uses the system notification sound. If you install Handcent SMS (or most other non-stock SMS apps), you can customize your notifications directly within that app.

If you want to use a downloaded audio file as a notification, put it on your sdcard under /media/audio/notifications.

Hope that helps.
