This is the second quirk of this phone that is small but incredibly annoying.
So I set a Ringer ID for 2 people in my address book. Unfortunately, it
doesn't just play when I get a call from them - it plays when I get a
message (via text) from them as well. Can't I still have it play the
normal message noise but the custom ring?

One person's annoyance is another person's desired behavior -- I personally
think that "quirk" is good.

I assume by that you infer that there is no way to prevent it happening?
Like the OP, I find it very annoying, and had I known about it I would
not have bought the phone. I e-mailed Motorola with the same question,
but got no reply - so my guess is that there are a lot of us that
dislike the "feature" and they're fed up of telling people there's no
way to prevent it.
Regards,
Bob

I think that's a very big (and unwarranted) leap.
