Just had the 6255i in my hands at the local Alltel store. Was chomping on the bit to buy this phone for 4 months now. Then disaster struck. There is NO WAY to keep either the keypad light or the Main screen light or the Outside display screen light on for more than 10 seconds !!! Forget it. I always have my lights set for "on flip open". I realize that the lights drain the battery, but I'm willing to put up with that. I just charge the battery a little more often. So, in summation, the whole phone goes dark in 10 seconds. Then you hafta press a button to re-activate the lights. EVERY 10 SECONDS !!!! Phoooeeey.

I'm leaning on getting the 6255i even though it has no lighting options. Problem is, I like to set my phone in the vehicle's cup holder. I then glance over at it OFTEN to see how many bars I am getting. Just something I like to do. Not saying I'm right. Not saying those losers who criticized me for my emphasis on backlighting options are wrong. 😲 It's just something I enjoy doing. Guess I'll get the 6255i and press the volume key every 10 seconds to keep the lights on. 🤣 If I have offended you and you're ready to fire off a steamy retort, I have only one thing to say to you. Luv ya !!

You will like the 6255 even though you will have to hit the volume button. I do the same thing but the phone is worth it anyways so enjoy and have a great day.

Yeah thats one of the problems with Nokia's they integrated their same backlight timer for their flip phones as they have had for thier bar phones.
