Lightbulb Volume control and 3G widget

Hi

i was wondering if there is a way of disabling the side volume control for the ringer volume because i keep hitting it when holding the phone and its starting to get annoying!!

Also is there a way to get a widget on the home screen to turn the 3G on and off there are ones for bluetooth and wifi but not for 3G well not that i can find anyway!!

When using the camera or doing much of anything in landscape (& sometimes in portrait) I keep hitting the ringer control. Going all the way to minimum goes to "mute" but a "up" touch re-activates the ringer. I'd like to set & forget (via widget) & if needed to "control" the volume use the widget to activate.

EXACTLY! I spend 90% of my "settings time" bumping into the volume control. Stupid design, but HTC has proven that there aren't any bright bulbs over there.
