This is really good ad quick way to switch between general and silent profile mode. It really helped me to quickly switch to silent mode during meetings.The quickest way to switch from general to silent and vice versa is to use the # key. Here’s how it works: 1. Press and hold down the # key. 2. The profile will automatically switch to silent. 3. When you want to switch back to general, just press and hold the # key again. The other way to switch between profiles is to click the power button, choose the profile you want to switch to, then click ok or press the center key.

| Blackberry Deadlock Continues ... |
| 2008-05-26 23:34:42 |
It seems that Blackberry episode is not going to end easily.Research In Motion (RIM) has said it is unable to give the Indian government access to messages sent by its enterprise clients over the BlackBerry service. The BlackBerry security architecture for enterprise customers is specially designed to exclude the capability for RIM or any third party to read encrypted information under any circumstances, the company said in an update to its Indian customers on Monday.For enterprise customers, the security architecture is based on a symmetric key system whereby the customer creates his own key, and only the customer possesses a copy of his encryption key, RIM said. The company does not possess a "master key", nor does any "back door" exist in the system that would allow RIM or any third party to gain unauthorized access to the key or corporate data, it said.

| People First - Concept phone by Nokia |
| 2008-05-08 01:38:47 |
Nokia's fired out some interesting concept phones this year, but this newest "People First" design centers more on the functionality of the device than its physical shape. The idea is based around what Nokia calls "three human universals of the way people think about communication" which are time, lists and people. So instead of being the standard pile of multi-option menus, the UI relies on a scrolling history list, with the most relevant and recent things popping onto the top.Content comes first, navigation is shallow, and there are no metaphors or abstractions to confuse. New content is generated at the top of a singular vertical list settling over tim...
