This is my two cents' worth: I have been using the BBlight application since it was first released; I absolutely love it for its indespensible value.

The BBlight settings allow you to set it up so the backlighting activates when you unholster the Blackberry, and/or when you push any button, and/or when external power is being supplied, and/or at a certain time of the day, with a selectable duration period.

This application is a must-have if you use your Blackberry while driving, especially at night!


Here's the webpage where you can download the various BB applications.
