What would be nice would be to have a system that would vibrate or ring
based on the caller's option. This could work if there was a menuing
system on the phone for incoming calls. If the phone is muted, with a
code you could override the silent ring and make it actually ring.
It could also work for the situation where I would like to call someone
late at night but I'm not sure if they're up. Assuming they have an
openmoko phone and its past a certain hour, I'd get a menu that would
ask whether I want an audible ring or not. Of course they could
override that and mute it completely, but for me this would be good. I
often forget to un-mute my phone and end up missing calls.
