    Hi all,

    I was working in the Profile area of my BB today and setting up what would play a tone, vibrate etc.

    Can someone tell me the difference between these two things?

    Messenger - Alert
    Messenger - New Message

    They each have a setting to configure but seem like they would be the same thing to me.

    I searched the forums but didn't see anything.

    Thanks!

    New Message is just that, everytime you get a message
    Alerts - when someone is unavailable, you can scroll to thier nameclick on the menu key , and set an alert to notify you when they become avail..

    Excellent. Thanks for the info.

    Message seemed pretty clear cut but Alert was a bit confusing. I was thinking that an alert would be to let me know there was a new message. Hence the confusion.

    Makes sense now. Thanks!
