Mine (UK version with latest firmware) has an Up Arrow on the # key and
holding it down DOES toggle between Silent an General

The plot thickens. Well, where is your one made? Finland or Asia? You
can tell from the sticker on the battery....

Oh.. and what network is it? O2?

Well, the battery was made in China, but I guess you meant "the battery...."
compartment, which shows the phone was made in Finland. Amazed really, I
thought everything was made in China these days.

And I'm on t-mobile.

Interesting because I'm on T-Mobile UK and it doesn't work, nor does it
on any other T-Mobile ones I've tried it on. Also on my mates O2 one.
I'll just have to see what Nokia have to say about it. :-)

My battery also says "Made in China", but the label inside the battery
compartment says "MADE BY NOKIA" with no other clue as to which
country it was produced in.

I bought my phone in Hong Kong a couple of days after it was first
released there, but because of the type of charger supplied with it I
suspect it was not originally intended to be sold there.

Just butting in...

Black N95 - 2 (8gb, Vodaphone, UK). Has no other markings on the #
key. Pressing it switches between silent and general in about a half
a second. Didn't know it did this... thanks!

Sorry, my bad. What I was trying to ask was have Orange ever had anything to
do with the phone? IIRC pressing and holding the # key is how you switch to
line 2 on Orange Nokias.

As far as I know, it's never been anywhere near Orange.
