Taking cost out of the picture, what are the pros and cons of each app? I realize that this ground may have been covered but I would really appreciate more feedback than someone recommending that I try both.
BuzzMe Pro allows you to set your phone to vibe and ring for phone calls, SMS, MMS, emails, etc.
BerryBuzz allows you to customze the color of your LED notifications for incoming calls, missed calls, email, SMS, MMS, BBM, Facebook, PIN messages, Calendar, and Tasks, and have vibe and ring for calls only. It also let's you customize the length of the notification and set the time limit for how long your LED will flash for after receiving the message. You can set it to stop after 1 minutes all the way up to 6 hours, as well as never.
I chose BerryBuzz over BuzzMe Pro because I do not need my phone to vibrate every time I get an email, text, etc. Also because I can tell what kind of message. I received from across the room just by looking at the color of the LED.

Great tip about the free trial but it seems like a safe bet given the positive responses about Berry Buzz. The cost is not too bad. It is not like buying another BB device after all. Thanks to everyone for their input and patience.
I like it a lot. The disco LED feature for incoming calls is pretty cool. And like Kasi stated, the different LED colors you assign let you distinguish what you just got without being near your phone.
just downloaded the free trial. pretty cool so far, except some of the colors dont look at all like they are supposed to. orange is not orange, white is not white, yellow is not yellow, etc... but cool nonetheless.
also, if you set the reminder part to off, does the LED only go off once?
also, the program says something about turning all repeat notificaton/led to none... not sure what its talking about here. if i dont do this will the color i chose only show once, and then followed by red reminders?
bigtincan buzzme pro is amaaaazing it does EVERYTHING it says it does, its simple to use doesnt take up memory, cheap and you get free updates and customer service
and yes in order to get the LED color YOU CHOOSE to repeat you have to go into your sound profiles and set the "LED Reminder" to "NONE" and save that preference then Buzzmepro's LED option that you hvae picked will work otherwise it will flash once then go back to the red LED
I have tried Berry Buzz. I liked it very much BUT I don't need a flashing light for everything the phone does. I think it has to much. I now am using Buzzme Pro I like it alot better. It has less features than Berry Buzz. If you want something simple go with Buzzme Pro. You still have the phone vibrating when it rings, the disco lights etc... The only thing I don't like about Buzzme Pro is you can't set your reminders to stop at 5 minutes or 1 minute. If you are not careful it will run your battery dead from blinking all night. I heard the other day Buzzme is working on a update to fix this.
You guys are right! I got rid of BuzzMe Pro. The more I played with Berry Buzz the more I liked it. So It is running smoothly on the my Tour. Is there fixing to be a update coming out soon?
