Mute microphone on phone flip?

I really, really need this function. I spend a LOT of time using the speakerphone on conference calls, and I need to be able to easily mute/unmute the phone during the calls. It takes several seconds to grab the phone, turn the screen on, and hit the mute button on screen. Flipping the phone over to mute/unmute would be much better.

I'm thinking a brute force solution could be to use Mortscript and either find a registry entry that controls the microphone sensitivity (which I assume is how muting works?) or script the press of the 'mute' button.

The problem, of course, is that I have no idea how I can trigger the script when the phone is flipped. I've done a lot of programming over the years, but nothing for Windows Mobile. I guess I'm hoping for some built-in mechanism or already-written software that can run in the background that monitors the gsensor and can trigger execution of the script when the phone is flipped. Does that make sense?

Can anyone help maybe point me in the right direction?

(by the way - the reason the several seconds to unmute is a problem is that the other people on the call think you aren't paying attention)
