New to this technology

hello and thank all of you in advance for the info you provide on your experiences with these great, I think, phones.

I had a Blackberry Storm, what a pc.it turned out to be.

Just bought this HTC Thunderbolt, (Verizon). Can't seem to get notifications for emails and all the notifications are not very loud. I have the volumes at max so if anyone has an idea it would be appreciated.
