    Kim-I too finally found how to set the ringtone for a specific person…but it hasn’t worked yet! Any idea why? I have 2 ringtones I downloaded, one main one and one for my husband. It keeps playing the main one. I have checked multiple times, and as far as I can tell, my husband should have his own ringtone.

    Anyone have any tips?

      On the Droid you open a contact, go to menu and select options. There you can choose a ringtone for that contact. My issue is that about 30% of the time the default ringtone is used regardless of which ringtone I have selected for that contact. I have no idea why the phone seems to pick and choose when the correct ringtone is used. Anyone else having that problem?

    Go into the contact and go to Menu > Edit >
    Scroll down to Additional Info.
    Click the little triangle to open that area.
    Go down to Call Handling.

    Found it…. LOL
    just in case anyone else is searching too :o )
