Have you found a suitable app that mimics the Blackberry "Bedside manner mode"?

As a new VZW iPhone user coming from a Storm 1 I am missing the profiles immensely (for work and home...I had 5 custom profiles in addition to the standard settings). So far the closest we can get to bedside mode is to have your switch on the side toggled to sound and then in the settings change all the toggles to off except the ringer/alerts. Fortunately for me, I do not use the notifications for various apps so I do not need to go the extra step to toggle them off as well. Unfortunately, I think my method still pushes text alerts through with sound.
One rigged option is to create a custom alert for text tones which is essentially silence. I am not sure if iPhone would allow this but it seems like a potential option. Hmmm...I will have to try that this weekend once I figure out how to make custom tones.
Only thing I miss from my Bberry is the profiles,(and battery life!) really miss that on my VZW iphone.
Don't want to deal with jail breaking
marc: Jailbreaking went extremely easy for me, it was not a time consuming process. I think from start to finish from starting the jailbreak program to pulling the phone off was less than 10 minutes. And among the neat UI tweaks you can get once jailbroken there is an app on Cydia that lets you set up profiles. Risk/reward ratio is heavily in favor of reward when it comes to jailbreaking, in my limited experience.

Eeeeeeeek!
