How do you usually switch between General and Silent profile? These two profiles are probably the most used ones. So it's likely that you have to switch between them quite often.

There are several ways you can switch between General and Silent mode. The easiest way is, of course, to press Power button and select the profile using and key then press OK.

Another way is just to use Power button only. Firstly, press Power button once to bring up the list of profiles. Secondly, press Power button again (probably several times) to select the profile you want to activate. Then press and hold Power button for about 1 second to activate it.

S60 3.0 phones introduce new features that allow us to switch General and Silent faster. Go to the idle screen (idle screen is the screen where you see your wallpaper). Then press and hold # (hash) key for about 1 second. If your current profile is General, it will be switched to Silent; and vice versa.
