Is there a way to loop message tones?

As far as I can see my new N80i doesn't play the message tone in a loop until I cancel it.

This is a bit of a problem as I need to wake up if I get an SMS

Am I mistaken? Is there a workaround?

(My old 6108 could repeat the tone in ascending fashion)

Thanks - that is more or less what I did - set one of the longer chosen tones. I am notoriously hard to way - let's hope it does the trick.
(I suppose I could always record the old phone!)

Overall the N80 is a lot more capable but there are couple of things to beef about compared to the 6108.

I was surprised to see there seems to be no "Timed meeting" on the N80.... I find that very useful as otherwise one forgets to come out of meeting mode.

It may be my imagination but I think enabling the vibration reduced the volume of the audio ringing.

... and of course the 6108 had stylus input (albeit it painfully slow - but it was easier than my poor skills at using the keypad).

Oh well - rant over. I feel better now 😉
