Out to dinner, in line at the supermarket, walking through an office building, or out at a bar, it almost never fails. I hear an ever so familiar BlackBerry alert. I can honestly say I hear Notifier_BBPro_6, Notifier_LightSpeed, Notifier_Cricket, BBPro_Sanguine, BBPro_GungHo, Notifier_Eager, Notifier_Dimples, Notifier_Greeter, Notifier_Sonar, and Notifier_EtVoila on a weekly basis. Some I love and some I hate… Cricket, but there’s no mistaking them.

I was surfing the web today for some BBPro-like alerts, but unfortunately came up short. The weird thing I found was people with other branded phones looking for BlackBerry alerts. Maybe not so weird. Some of the BlackBerry alerts are truly captivating.

With that said, I’m going on 3 years now with the same selection of alerts. Some of them I’ll never change, but it would be nice to see some new BlackBerry alerts thrown into the mix. It can be somewhat of a nuisance at times when you’re around a gang of BlackBerry people. You know the drill… One alert sounds and everyone looks at their phone. Hopefully we’ll see some new alerts come with BlackBerry 6 or some newer OS builds.

Now if you’re thinking, “This guy is an idiot! Why doesn’t he shut up and just download some other alerts!” Then you simply don’t understand. Other alerts just don’t have that BlackBerry feel. How do you feel about BlackBerry alerts? If there’s any particular ones you love or hate, post them in the comments below. Also comment if you happen to know of any BlackBerryesque alerts.
