The G1 has it, and can be overriden by user apps. Do the newer Android phones not have this or something?

I had never seen or used a Blackberry before owning a G1. Android 1.0-1.5 might be crappy, but not as crappy as the Blackberry Tour. I've had to help my sis-in-law twice now with weird things like the ringer going into permanent mute and not being to come out of "Safe Mode". And pulling the battery is the only answer? Jeez.
