The hell?

Okay, you know how I like to take pictures of people and stuff?

I know a lot of you disagree with it but let's be serious, I can't draw stick figures for every situation and a photo is easier. Obviously you don't feel that strongly about it because you're still reading the site.

Here's the problem, the Blackberry camera feature? I can't seem to shut off the shutter sound and cripes, it's loud. Do you know how loud I will have to cough to drown out the shutter? On my old phone, I could turn off the camera sound.

I even tried plugging in the headset and the shutter still makes a noise. Why do I need a shutter sound? In this day and age, can we not tell we've snapped a photo without some kind of audial assistance?

This bites.

    Nun-uh, not true.
    There's an app for that.

    It's probably to keep people from covertly snapping cellphone photos in public washrooms or changerooms without others noticing/hearing.

    I figured it was anti-perv reason.

    Gary - awesome!

    I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed at times but what's the URL for the app to turn the camera shutter noise off?

    The link above that you posted, Gary, is to the Presto post and I don't see anything on that page that says anything about Apps. Help, I've wanted to take pictures before too, but have been plagued with that loud shutterbug noise.
