Dear RIM,
I'm not a creep or anything, but why must the BlackBerry camera shutter sound be so absolutely unavoidable? I do admit its super cute to have a fake shutter sound go off every time I take a picture (which is interesting because surely the newer BlackBerry users don't even know where that sound comes from), but for it to be permanent and un-mutable is just... just... no.
True, there are times when I want to take a picture of a cool dress (that somebody happens to be wearing), and one might argue that the shutter sound alerts the pictured party that their privacy is being disregarded... but what is privacy these days anyway? Just kidding. Anyway, most of the time, I'm in a quiet place like the beautiful turquoise synagogue in Florence, and I would like to quietly capture the exquisite interior architecture. But to do so would compromise the sacred religious ceremonies happening inside. My final and tangentially interesting point is that anything that forces you to choose between technology and religion certainly must be destroyed.
So please, at least give us the option of removing the shutter sound from the camera so we can get closer to our goal (and your goal) of experiencing the world solely through our smartphones.
Sincerely,
Tara Raffi
