I recently changed from a 7105t to the 8700. I loved having the option to hold down the * key to turn on just vibrate mode.

I missed having that feature on this phone until I accidently held down the "mute during call" button on top and it turned on vibrate mode.

Please tell me that people knew about this. I couldn't find anything online.

Nope. That feature is not available as far as I know on the 8700 series. If you're able to do this you would be the only one I've read about that has this feature. Could be a carrier-specific feature, but I don't think so.

I am running the new 4.2 OS from T-Mobile.

Perhaps it's a feature that has been added to OS 4.2, then. I've seen many threads by 87xx series owners lamenting the lack of a quick access key to change profiles (like on the 71xx series). I know on my device holding the mute button down does nothing at all.

I have an 8700c with 4.2 and holding down the mute key now toggles between the active profile and vibrate.

Thanks for sharing.

Works on an 8700c with 4.2 as well for me.

I have an 8700c preloaded with 4.2 and my mute button DOES turn on vibrate mode.

Feature confirmed here. . . what I noticed is that this only works one way, meaning from a profile other than vibrate to vibrate.... I have my BB profile on Vibrate to begin with so i didn't notice it when I first tried it out . . . when I changed Profile to Normal, holding down the mute for abt 2-3 seconds changed profile to Vibrate . . . also, tried the feature on an active call and that didn't work for me . . .
