The RUMOR is that in the next major update, there will be a notification center. Key word, RUMOR. My one big complaint is that I can't customize the alert tones per contact. That's been a BB feature for YEARS, yet WP doesn't have this basic feature. Everything else I have gotten used to and would never switch to Droid or iOS, and it is the ONE thing I pine for.
The more recent rumor is that the notification center screen was pulled as they're trying to do something unified across platforms.
I doubt that - it has to be coming.
Yeah, WP8 is missing a whole lot of basic features, but notification profiles is a huge one. Customized alerts would be nice, but I'd kill to not have to lower my volume when I take off my headphones after walking to work to avoid a loud ring.
Please don't come near me or my family during the expected release times of GDR2 or GDR3

It's already on WP8. Go to your People hub, scroll down to the contact for whom you want to add a different ringtone, press and hold for the the contact's name until the menu comes up and select "edit". Then select the "+ ringtone" option and choose your custom ringtone. They don't make it easy to find but it's there!
Personally, I wish they would allow for different ringtones based on which email account gets a new message. But that's just me.
I think he means different tones for text messages... not ringtones for phone calls.
