i hav to disagree... its really cool man!! think about it, every light is integrated into the system, every light is link for its purpose, its no longer just to light up the keypad, tats the thing of the past... software & hardware acting as an user interface man to think about it, its a thing of the future!! It would be cool, it some1 calls the keypad lights will do some light effects... or just light up the keypads tat have the lettering of the callers name... or form a symbol.. man its so cool!!

...soo what your saying is that we still have the option to have every single one light up?.. as i agree with etaab.. this is stupid unless we have a choice. |

In its effect yes, its cool.
But when i use my phone, i want to see the whole keypad. I do not wish to be tutored on how to use the phone everytime i pick it up.
Also, if i press the wrong key, good for me, since ive made a simple human error of which i can be proud of. By integrating such a feature into the phone, companies are now removing our freedom even to make such simple errors. 
Before we know it, phone companies will be controlling us, not us controlling their products. 
Im sure after a few days (or months depending on IQ) of ownership, you'll know how to unlock the keypad so such a function would be unecessary.

aw come on guys.. ur thinking in the box.. i know wat yall thinkin.. but come on... if u press the wrong key.. its the same thing... coz nothing happens... and further more... i think SE would have already thought of lighting the whole keypad if needed.. e.g inputing text for sms, numbers for new contact, obviously the whole keypad will light up. But i have to agree with ya for one thing, having the options to on/off these feature... as obviously u guys are not into it. Im not surprised IF there IS light effects if some1 calls... hehe...

But im not 5 years old, i do not need lights to tutor me on how to unlock the keypad.
If SE and companies were to integrate this feature into all phones im sure it would annoy many people - especially phones like the P910i, aimed at the business user yet made "child friendly" with predictive lights.
This feature reminds me of toy my neice has, where she has to spell things by typing them into a keypad. It lights up only the keys she needs.

is it anything to do with child friendly at all? does it make any one feel stupid putting these feature? then why is there a manual book in evey product? then why is there a help feature in every software program? then why esato made the efford of putting smilies  where we can simply put ; )... why?? then why having this post if u think people are so damn clever... then why people says Nokia is much more user friendly then SE?? All i see is.. it is a bonus feature, SE has been inovative with ideas.. and making its product as user friendly as possible.. they deserve such efford.. u fail to SEe that. if u dont like it, then I'll suggest you go to settings, display, interactive lights and select off..

i remember teaching people how to lock the T610 long ago. something like this will make it easier for non-techie people.
besides i don't look at the keypad anyway - i push the buttons and look for the big Key icon to appear and that's it.  this lighted keypad thing is no big deal IMHO.
EDIT: and if you're drunk it will help you find the keys!

Id bet money on that if the K750 does have this function, we wont be able to disable it.
The difference between the manual and such lights is, with the manual, you can read it once and then never look into it again.
With these lights, if we're not able to disable them, everytime you want to unlock the phone you'll be treated to idiot proof guide lights. It would be like carrying the manual around with you the whole time.
I say this to  : sure, implement this feature, but if you choose to do so, allow those of us with an average IQ or higher the ability to disable this function. We're quite capable of remembering how to lock and unlock the keys without the need for such a feature.

why have lights on keys that don't do anything? I wouldn't take the phone as a personal insult. Computers have a light grey font when you cant select something... it's the same thing. plus it saves battery. |

The main time you'll notice this is when locking/unlocking the phone. The keyboard will be fully lit up then you'll press * then presumably only the more button will be lit up. SE isn't treating us like babies because they already instruck you every time you lock when the more button turns to lock. Also this feature could help the phone to be unlocked by someone else in a emergency. If someone finds you lying on the floor and then needs to use your phone to ring for help, this will help.

as some people said..that the lights are teaching them to unlock the phone...
what bout the onscreen display tellin u to press the * and right soft key....isnt that tellin u what to do..doesnt that put u off? or have yall disabled that someway.....the lights are doin the same thing..i dunno why yall gotta be so negative bout it....
i saw the animated flash presentation on the se site..
and there is a keypad light up sequence during phone start-up...and i think it looks really awesome...

Some valid points, but i still dont like the feature. 
Also, if someone were to get their hands on my K750i, id rather them not know how to unlock the keypad, since i keep personal pictures and SMS's from friends, family and my girlfriend on my phone.
Im sure if i got hit by a bus, and someone found me in the street they'd call for help on their own mobile phone, rather than search my flattened body for a phone.

I've had a look at the trial one i've got and doesn't do the key lock lights thing.
Never know though it could be changed in the final firmware
