Some of my contacts have "quallifiers" after their names. These are inbetween () and are CAPITAL LETTERS. Alas the program trys to say the letters as a word. Funny. It may be nicer if it sees capital letters and says the letters instead of trying to make a word of it.

When the phone is in another room, I can decided to take the call without getting up because the caller name is so loud and clear. Works for me.

Version 1.0.4 finally works as stated on my DroidX - previously it could not be customized. I am still suffering BlackBerry withdrawal but custom vibrate helps. Now if only it did the same for e-mail on a per account basis and had some provisions for override/respect of silent mode, I'd be even happier.
