User Centered Design...HTC HD2- ringer shuts off when it's picked up!

It's a simple matter that just about any modern smartphone can do, but it's the fit & finish that make a great user centered experience.

The HTC HD2 (which I'm impressed with) uses its accelerometer to silence the ringer when the user picks up the device. Great for those that fumble around in their purse or computer bag because they forgot to switch to vibrate (use Locale on the Android platform!)

MyOpera team, please fix this!fearphage # Sunday, November 8, 2009 3:55:38 AM

To my knowledge, the Motorola Droid does this as well. It also turns off the screen when you put the phone up to your ear. I like those little mini-features.

So if you're jogging with your phone, does the ringer just instantly silence itself? Is there something that differentiates normal movement from actually picking up the phone?

It seems they don't need to release Opera 10.53 next time!
