Sony Ericsson W810
light-up buttons?
i've been searching for a new phone recently. i currently have the ericsson t637 and have really enjoyed it. for this reason, i'm really drawn to this new ericsson phone. i was pretty close to buying it, but then i realized that the buttons don't light up. i thought that was highly problematic. i've searched through the forums here and noone seems to complain about it. could someone clarify: do the buttons light up? if not, does this pose a problem for those of you who don't have the keypad memorized (ie, when texting in dark rooms)? is there enough light from the screen to see the buttons and letters printed on them?
thanks.
thanks.

Excuse me but I just woke up and thought I was in the Cingular forum LOL. The w810 keypad is light sensitive. If it is daylight the keypad will not light up. If it detects a dark environment the keypad will light up. It conserves battery life.
...
really? wow. i tried to get it to light up in the cingular store but couldn't. i assume there was just too much light in there. so, this phone has a light sensor for the keypad? that's pretty cool. are the keypad lights orange like in keeping with the color scheme of the phone?
...
Yes they are orange and yes its most definitely light sensored. I've had the phone 9 months (bought mine unlocked). Greatest little phone I've ever had.
...
awesome. you just sold me on it. i think i'll be picking it up soon. i was thinking of just buying it through cingular since i'm not that experienced with "flashing" phones or getting unlocked ones. but apparently, flashing this one is really something to consider, ey?
...
I've never flashed phones or had one done. I just bought it unlocked but 3 of my closest friends got theirs through Cingular and love it love it love it.
