Mobile Profiles
"Dont use Cell phone while Driving" is one common signage that we come across while driving. Apart from these are so many messages brought by service providers, handset makers etc on the harms of using a mobile phone while driving / riding. We have different profiles in the handsets which we can set according to different situations. We have General, Silent, Loud, Pager,Meeting etc why cant we have one more additional profile in the handset "Driving". So when we are driving we can set it to this profile so that whenever somebody calls there is a prerecorded voice which says " the subscriber is currently driving please call later". Is it too difficult for technology to incorporate this or is that nobody has thought about it. Will a Nokia,Ericcson, Samsung, LG,Motorola take note and see if this can be done

Dear Anbu,]
The flip side of the arguemnt is that we all have so become addicted to these mobiles that we can`t keep opur hands off them even when we are driving. Will it not be easier to put the phones on silent mode when we drive?
In other words the change in social behaviour needfs to be endorsed by technology!
thanks suresh . True we all have become addicted. As you rightly said we need technology to help us in our social behaviour too. And from that perspective there will be a response to the caller that the person is driving when the phone is in the driving mode rather than just a long ring without respons when the phone is in the silent mode.
