Dialing
Busy and ringing VibeTonz effects draw an analogy from audio cues, feeling exactly the way you would expect them to. In the United States, the busy signal feels like a short and quickly repetitive beat. Ringing, a less frequent pulse. Call dropped, a signal tapering off.

With a VibeTonz-enabled phone, you won't have to bring it to your ear to know that your call is going through or that the line is busy. You won't continue to talk after the call has been dropped because you'll feel a decaying vibration that tells you the connection was lost.

You won't miss waiting calls, or be distracted by beeps while you're in conversation. The VibeTonz cue makes it clear that someone is trying to get through without adding further clutter to the voice channel. Instead, you receive the alert through your sense of touch. Intuitive, easy, and cool.

Operation
VibeTonz effects leave the user feeling more connected and satisfied with the operation of their phone. Any button or input device can have its own distinctive tactile response. SEND can feel differently than CLEAR, for example.

You can scroll through lists and menus and feel a small "bump" for each item, like the clicks on the climate control knob in your car. When scrolling through a list of messages, unopened messages feel differently, producing a bounce or pop effect. When using a pen or touch pad, you get a confirming tap instead of just an audible beep. Even the tactile cue for power on will provide solid confirmation without an often intrusive chime.

Alerts and alarms
An alarm could feel like your alarm clock ringer or London's Big Ben clock tower. Alerts could emulate the feel of a tap on the shoulder. Whatever they feel like, alerts and alarms announce themselves through touch, and don't disturb conversations, distract with noise, or fail to do their job because sound is turned off.
