That would be great for my school schedule, Sometimes I forget and this would eliminate all of that. Might give the free version a try and think about buying it.

Same here... this would be great for my school as well. I am going give it a go once the study break is over and see how it works.

Sounds awesome! I hate changing my profile depending on if I am at work or at home

Agreed -- but these are features that RIM ought to include in the core OS for free, especially if RIM wants to differentiate itself from its competition with BB10.

We ought not to have to pay a 3rd party company to provide this type of core OS functionality.

Will this work while the phone is on sleep mode on a holster? (OtterBox Defender)

I found some apps don't work if the phone is on a holster.

Never mind... it reads "Works even if holstered or locked"

Cool, they can go one further and allow profiles to change with your GPS location, for work, home etc. This needs the application to be smart to recognise things like churches, banks etc. Now that would be cool!

Where my uncle works, they have NFC as well as GPS initiated system. When he walk through certain doors leading to meetings, the Blackberries automatically goes to Vibrate no matter what settings the phone is on. Obviously the company only have Blackberries.

The GPS tags are placed between the door frames. Very cool. So if churches and banks do the same thing, yep this will be possible. :)

I was just going to comment on the utility of using NFC tags instead of GPS. Plus NFC would allow to to trigger other "macros" too.

In what country/planet are there 9800s running OS7.1 or higher?

I was thinking the same thing....would be nice, but impossible!

Bought "Profile Changer" a week or so ago. It does the same thing including changing by location. A buck more, but definitely worth it.

Agreed. Profile Changer this way can also substitute SmartWifi!! Very Cool!

Plus Profile Changer is integrated with the Calendar app so that you can setup keywords to schedule profile change. There is also a VIP contacts Category feature which you can set to ensure vip contacts will always ring even when the profile setting is set to vibrate, silent or OFF.

check out Profile Changer on AppWorld http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/74464

Thank you for this info.... I am going to buy Profile Changer because it scan for keywords in the calender.

Can change the sound profile to vibrate on all calender events?

Just had to comment on this...
Supported devices... Torch 9800... but supported os 7.1... hmmm.. the two don't work together
Highest version of the 9800 is 6.0.0.723

I can't wait for 10...

This is a great APP for college student.
If you have unregular schedual classes like one in 8am and the next in 5pm
usually when you walk to class you forget to turn off your ringer
This program AUTO turn it off for you =)

Sounds like a great app, but I'll have to wait until OS 7.1 is officially released.
