Default cell phone technology?

<rant>
So I get the sony ericsson t637, neat phone; it can do lots of things: connect to the internet, get on aim, take pictures, has bluetooth, can record sounds, etc etc.....

So I go to set the ringtone, and well lets just say I dont have an affinity for all the musical crap people have going off all the time: I have always had a simple BEEP and then vibrating alert. Wait....there is no beep option....wait....no if i set it on the lowest ring setting it will beep really quiet twice....but....it wont vibrate...yep the vibrate is set to on.....


so then it hits me...with all this technology; my cellphone cant JUST beep....

</rant>

I believe Nokia's "Meeting" profile has what you are looking for...

Exactly why I like Nokias. They have these little options that are useful.

What's also amazing is they can give us all these bells and whistles for the phone, but the service hasn't gotten any better. It would be nice if I could go one week without dropping calls.
