SX66 Owners - Question

I'm looking at getting the SX66 next week. Unfortanetly, I'm in the US and it's not available through any carrier yet, so I cannot get my hands on one to play around with it before buying it.

Anyway my main question is about SMS alert tones. I had an Audiovox SMT 5600 with Windows SmartPhone for about a week and then returned it because it would not allow me to stop a tone once it started whenever I received an SMS or email message. The only way to get the tone to stop playing was by turning the phone off. So I was not sure if that was because of the phone itself, or from the actual Microsoft SmartPhone software. I've never owned a phone or handheld that is Microsoft based before the SMT 5600 I had for a week, so concerned it may be the same on Windows Phone Edition.

Other question is about size. Do you find the phone to be too heavy for you and does the size itself seem decent enough? The SX66 seems to be the heaviest phone I've come across from reading specs. Heavier than Nextels with their built in radio. So just curious what your personal opinion is after carrying it around with you.

Thanks.
