On the N900, there are only two profiles: Silent and General. And I have not found a way to create more.

Why is this? I must be spoiled by my other Nokia phones, where you can create LOTS of profiles.

I'd like to create one for the office, one for outside, one for meetings....

well, i appreciate this decision.

honestly: how many profiles do you use?
i only use 2 on my current mobile: normal and silent.
i dont need any of those other profiles, so i'll be fine with only these 2 profiles on the n900.

btw, technically, there are 3 profiles if you count "offline-mode" as a profile.

I find profiles with contact groups very handly.
Silent when I want be totally "free"
Meeting when I have get only beeb.
Weekend when profile only rings for selected contact group calls family and fiends.
Work in case I dont want call from outside groups than work related.

Same thing bothers me.
I did use 3 mobile profiles.
1) Regular with snds vibro etc
2) Silent- Vibro only.
3) Bookreader type- with light staying on for over a minute, so I dont need to click on the screen.
It should be an option at least to create more.

This is what I found in systemui.xml. I have a basic understanding on XML, but not enough to know what I'm doing. Maybe more profiles can be added here?

2 profiles is silly - you need 1 for pure silence, one for wen ur in the office (simple beep) and one for all other times !

there needs to be an app like on the droid where you can not only have multiple profiles, but also have it automatically enable profiles based on conditions like time of day or location using gps. like say you go to church, it should recognize based on gps location and enable silent profile automatically.
