does anyone know if the clear rectangle on the top actually is, to the left, next to the memory stick slot? It looks like a light but no options to switch it on? |

To elaborate on that slightly. It is a light sensor, when it gets dark the screen dims and when it get lighter it increases the brightness to make the screen easier to see in sunlight.
Checkout my photos at My Website"Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together." |

user manuals are very simple written, mainly just the fatcs are mentioned with some useless tricks

hey jcwhite_uk, i'm not entirely sure since i don't own a w850, but wouldn't it make more sense that, in the morning where there's more light, the screen goes dimmer to save battery life, and when it gets dark, the screen goes brighter.?? Once again, I can be wrong, but I've heard other w850 users post a similar idea

in nokia, when the light sensor isnt needed cos its day, then the keypad is more bright, in the evening the opposite happens. very clever feature

The light sensor dims the screen in hte dark as it needn't be as bright and puts the brightness up so that the screen can be seen clearer with light shining on it. |
