Annoying behavior of Android 2.2

[Hxc]

Hi all

Still solidering on with my Motorola Milestone. Recently upgraded to the official 2.2 firmware, and have found a highly annoying "feature"

On the original 2.1 software when you adjusted the volume there was a vibrate mode, and then a total silent, everything off mode. On 2.2 there is only a vibrate mode, so for example, when I am in bed I cannot have the phone on totally silent, it'll still vibrate and as a light sleeper if I leave it on my bed it'll wake me. (I have my vibrate setting as 2sec constant vibrate rather than pulses!)

Is this exclusive to motorolas firmware and if I swapped to a custom rom I would get the old one back... or is this just how it is now?

Press the volume up one notch from vibrate.

One notch up will still have vibrate on and a very quiet sound... that's no good!

On 2.1 it went
Volume High
Volume Lower
etc
Volume Lowest
Silent but still Vibrate
Silent and no vibrate.

Settings > sound > vibrate options > only when not in silence mode?

Motoblur has that on 2.3.3 (can't remember 2.2)

This is closer but it still lacks the "vibrate only" function that was above completely silent on 2.1. Which is no good as I like to have my phone on vibrate when at work.
I know I am hilariously awkward but the 2.1 behavior suited me so well!

And drat, seems like it's moto's update. Gives me more reason to install one of the 2.3 based roms I suppose... see if it's any better
