FlipSilent: Flip Your Nokia N82 Over To Silence Calls & Profile

Well the title pretty much says it all. Say your phone is sitting on your desk or table. When it starts ringing, simply pick it up and flip it over face down if you want to either silence the ringer or reject the call. It does what it says without using much RAM. The accelerometer in the Nokia N82 is used to sense if the phone is face up or face down. Remember the Nokia commercial that went around the net months ago showing off the upcoming Nokia touch screen device? Remember the scene where the girl flips her phone over when someones calling? Well the developer of SymbianBlog.com took that idea and ran with it.

One thing this application doesn't do is silence the alarm, which is a bummer I was hoping it would. Maybe we'll have to wait for Samir's version of this application ShutUp! to get that functionality. I also hope the developer releases an update that prevents the phone from changing profiles when it is locked. I find that once in awhile the phone switches profiles when it's in my pocket and I sit down. This is an application that will stay on my phone and come in good use. I'll probably start using it like second nature.

Currently this application is unsigned so you either have to sign it yourself, or give a small donation and the developer will sign it for you, which is just awesome.

For now this application is freeware, but donations are being encouraged to continue the development of this great application.
