Use a sound file editor to add silence in to the start of the sound file.

Such a small thing, makes such a big difference, phone or not a phone it still rings when i tshouldnt, In an ideal world we would remember to silence it in a meeting, but we dont.
Long way round to saying I think the hardware button is an excellent idea

The fact that context was not taken into consideration with this mobile computer in terms of utilizing this aspect of its communication from the default setup is probably more damming than missing a button - to which you are asking a person to modify their behavior to the device and context instead of the created modifying itself to the creator/user

This is what I've done with my N97 and N95, when in the pocket and a ring comes in, I do a mild double-tap to the back of the phone. This stimulates the sensors measuring for the "flip to silent feature" and boom I'm silenced (or in the case of my N95, I've silenced the call and sent an SMS that I wasn't available).
Try that and see what happens for you - just not in another meeting ok.
Here are what I figure out using flip:
Take it out and flip the screen down on your other hand or leg(best solution so far)
If the phone is in your pant, then make sure the screen is facing your leg. When your receive a call, just grab the phone and tab it against your leg. It works but I get 50/50. Sometime you might accidentally accepted the call.
I think the silent/shock sensor is on the side with "N900" logo. Everytime I flip the phone and tap it with the N900 side, it would give me higher success rate. The "nokia" side with the camera would give me 100% failure rate.

bug #6828 is a different bug.
I have an N900 and the same need to silence the ringer by pressing the power or volume button by feel while still in the pocket. Please vote for bug #7878

maybe a brainstorm for an app/feature that adds a silent mode to the powerbutton-dubbeltap-lock when there is an incomming call?

Edit: Never mind. I should have read my email first. It is proposed that this idea should be submitted as a brainstorm entry.
