"Some serious flaws in BB" because you couldn't figure out 4 convenience items in your whole one day of experience -- hmmm
1. One click and a short scroll to switch to quiet is fairly simple and quick but you also have other options -- turn it off or set it to change profiles at given times.
2. As stated, an inexpensive little program can solve it for you.
3. Turn off key tones in options.
4. This one never occurred to me. I live in an area where 10 digit dialing has been a must for some time. And since I can potentially get any area code I want, the area code no longer reflects location. I thought everyone had to use 10 digits on a cell. I don't mean to hijack your thread, but I am curious how common this is - anybody know?
Sometimes we have a bigger learning curve (no pun intended) because our phones keep getting smarter! I usually assume that if I want to do something, it can be done and someone has probably figured out how. If not, they are likely to figure it out soon.
Enjoy your new BB!
