Cingular T720 on/off tones

Is there any way to turn off the music this thing plays when you turn it
off or on? When the theater reminds you "please turn off cell phones" the
last thing I want is the thing singing out a song.

Gee, here's a novel idea, try turning it off BEFORE you enter the theater.

Even better, I should remember how extremely literal minded some
people can be, and post a great long list of potential occasions when
one might like to silently turn off a cell phone.

If you're not already in vibrate mode then hit the down-volume button
a bunch of times quickly until you're in vibrate or silent mode. Then
open the phone and turn it off.

Not totally silent, but better than the alternative.

tg.

You could also press up on the thumb mouse and choose the ring style you
like, no sound generated at all using this method.

Yes, that takes care of the ringer, but some idiots still answer and
start yammering with no consideration for others trying to pay attention
to something they paid good money for. If they'd just answer, ask
whomeever to "hold on", and excuse themself to the lobby, all would be
fine. This shows consideration for others, and would engender
significant respect from me.

Right. So the use instructions aren't "Turn it off, then later on" but
rather "Change it to vibrate, then turn it off; Later turn it on and be
sure to remember to change out of vibrate mode". BTW, is there any reason
that anyone would ever actually want the phone to make a noise when it's
turned off? Does your TV set play a tune when you turn it off? The
lights in your house? Your car? I had found it difficult to believe
anything could be designed so stupidly, but I guess it is.

It's really cute watching you all argue. But one easy alternative if the phone is a sony ericsson is to press the menu and 2 keys to enter silent mode. This way it won't ring. If you aim to turn it off though, it is a system setting that cannot be removed since even clearing out the cingular defaults leaves you with a phone default sound. The purpose, though, unlike your car is to warn you that you turned it off and not just cancelled the call. This helps when phones like mine use the same key for 3 functions to know when you held it down long enough.
