I used that phone for a while and never had that problem. You really
had to hold that button in for a few seconds to change the mode. I
could see it happening if you used the included holster and pressed
and held the button while extracting it. It was a tight and rather
awkward fit. I used the leather case and could not possibly do it
accidentally this way.
I guess it is a matter of preference. I now have the Audiovox 9900
where you have to open the phone and press and hold * to change to the
vibrate mode.
I'd rather be able to do it from a side button and not have to open
the phone. Other positive reviewers of this phone have said the same.
