Customizable text message alerts on Verizon phones?

I'm due for a new cell phone, but I'm so in love with one of the features of my current phone I hate to give it up. With the LG vx8300 I currently use, I can designate a specific ring tone for each contact, and ANOTHER ring tone for that contact's text messages. I primarily use my phone for texting, so going back to having one text alert no matter who sent the text is NOT an option for me.

I'm having the hardest time finding out what phones (any style, any features) have this option. I have tried numerous times to contact Verizon, but they seem confused and tell me it's not possible on any phone, even when the one I have does this!

If this is a dead option that doesn't exist on any new phones (though it's fab and should be included in all) I would be willing to have a phone where I can assign a ringtone to a contact and have the same ringtone tell me when that contact called or texted.

Is anyone familiar enough with the Verizon phones, pdas, blackberry, etc that they can tell me what model numbers I should look for for this feature? Any help would be great.
 
If you haven't got a new phone yet, I believe the LG env2 is just what you need. I am able to create ringtones myself and e-mail them to my phone and open them as text messages. The phone allows you to assign different ringtones for each person in your phonebook. It is also great for texting.
 
Did you have any luck finding what you were looking for? I have been trying to find that same sort of feature for months! It existed on my Chocolate phone, but when I upgraded to my Chocolate 2, that feature was no longer available. All I use my phone for practically is texting, so this was a big loss, and I am shocked that Verizon would downgrade a feature like that on new phones.
