Does this alarm software have a screen flash feature and customizable vibrate feature? (i.e. two short vibrates followed by one long vibrate, for specific emails)
I'm still waiting for good alarm software that adds custom vibrates (or at least a library of 12 'distinct' vibrates) and screen backlight flashing. There are API's that does this on OS 4.x BlackBerries, so should be an easy feature to add...
For example:
Unimportant emails: One brief 0.5 second vibrate
Ultra-urgent emails: Quick S.O.S. style vibriate. ... short-short-short-long-long-long-short-short-short vibrate
Perhaps flash screen in sync with the vibrate (good if BlackBerry is on a desk), or flash can be independently configurable (but using the same "distinct vibrate")
Example idea:
Code:
Alarm Config Mode: [Advanced]
Alarm Profile #1: "URGENT"
Ringtone: [Urgent.mp3]
Vibrate: [S.O.S. Style]
Screen Flash: [Once]
Indicator Light: [Alternate Green-Red]
Repeat Alarm: [Until key pressed]
Alarm Profile #2: "LOW PRIORITY"
Ringtone: [OFF]
Vibrate: [0.5 second]
Screen Flash: [Once]
Indicator Light: [None]
Repeat Alarm: [Never]
etc.
(Or similiar concept)
Then when configuring an alarm, you simply select Profile #1 "URGENT" for matching to a phone number or to an email address... Since this may be overkill for many people, Advanced mode can be turned OFF to keep software user friendly by default.
One of you alarm vendors could perhaps do something like this, so I can get custom vibrates and screen flashing...
