DC Call Alert tone on a 7510

Is there any way to get the standard Nextel call alert tone (like on the Motorolas) on the 7510? I would much prefer the standard four loud beeps over what the BB has to offer. All of them sound too much like a telephone ringer to me.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I assume there is a way to do this, it would involve recording the sound you want, converting to a certain sound file (midi maybe, I'm not sure what the bb's use) and then finding a way to upload it (maybe sending the sound to yourself in an email and saving it would work). Someone in the Nextel forums may already have the sound file you want, or may know where to get it. As far as getting it onto your bb though, I really don't know. Hope I helped some....

I have found "ring 3"seems to be the closest to the nextel chirp.
I usually keep mine on vibrate most of the time anyway.

Thank you for the responses. I currently use "ring 5" for my incoming call alerts. I'm gonna see about manually recording the regular alert and adding it as a midi tone. Hope it's not too tedious.

All of the standard IDEN ringers (including the call alert tone) are in the 7510's software. How do I know? Plug in a handsfree headset and listen to the tone you get (through the earbud) when a DC comes in (IDEN Ringer 1) or when an email comes in (IDEN message alert tone). The problem is figuring a way to get them to manifest when the handsfree is NOT plugged in.

I've asked this question many times but nobody seems to know.
