Yeah I know, it's the reason I didn't get one. I was on tapatalk and it showed me the latest threads and I tapped on it without seeing it was the x section. So I posted thinking he was using a Droid, my bad. Good to know you can silence the shutter. My gf is considering one and she's not into the whole rooting and custom roms thing. That'll be one less thing I have to do for her.
Yeah I don't have many situations where I don't want the cam to make a sound when taking a picture but its nice to know the option is there if I take up a career in stalking.
