Windows Phone vibes.

I’m rocking the Surround as most of you know, but one thing I’m struggling with is notifications.  I shuffle back and forth between silent, vibrate, and ring but there isn’t a very good way to do that quickly between all three.  Through some creative menu settings I’ve found some weirdness to report.  When you turn the volume up or down you get the drop down menu where you can switch between ring or vibrate.  This leaves out silent, which I use at work and in class.  If you go into the notifications settings you can switch ring and vibrate off or on independently.  If the ringer is turned on and vibrate is off the phone still vibrates if the volume is set to zero.  I vote for a change.  If you have the system volume set to zero and you toggle the ringer (the one that pops up when you hit the volume key) it should switch between vibrate and silent.  I feel like this is a pretty simple thing to accomplish with some software redirection.  Man the wait for this update is killing me.  Do you guys use silent on a regular basis?  Am I asking too much?  Let me know and chime in on any other quirks that are mostly nuisance in your Windows Phone life.  Misery loves company.
