I mean I`m sure there is a better way and that the phone was running 2.1 Eclair but to put this in the manual as an official and easiest way is amusing. Samsung, you have touchscreens now with pull-down menus etc! It just confirmed for me that I made a good decision to let Android mature for couple of years before I jump aboard, if ever.
Usually you just hold the power button, and the choose the silent mode from the menu - the same to undo it. Froyo have it more conveniently located at the status bar commands, besides the original way

didn't even know I could use # for that!

Just a poorly written manual :P
