Hi All,
Need to ask you guys, in the Night/Dark, how well does the backlight work? I seen in the website reiew (URL as below) that the backlight will only illuminate up to the Yes/No buttons and the rest of the keypad keys are not well illuminated. Is it true?
If it is then that's bad. Bad man..
Thanks for any answers.

yes, the light is indeed strong enough that you can see it seep through the gap between the front and back covers!!!

Hmm.. what about here?
It looks to me that the original one is really not that bright.

Screen is well light. And keys up to the 1 2 3 line on the keypad. BUT from the 4 5 6 line downwards on the keypad the lighting is pretty pathetic. This problem has been posted elsewhere on this site. Why did /// overlook a couple of LEDs lower down the phone?? |

I have noticed the difference. The poor keypad light is in the first models of T68. This issue has been fixed in the newest production of the phone. I have a phone from week 40 earlysomething and it's keypad does not light up properly. But the new phones I have seen don't have this problem. I don't know what they did... probably moved the Leds a bit, or installed stronger ones.
I personally would prefer white leds in the keypad. The orange is nice to look at, but it gives an ugly gradient on the top of the keypad, Yes and No are illuminated white, Option button and C are partly illuminated, with a light orange gradient.

I have an early one, and its very hard to see the bottom rows of numbers if its not a) pitch black or b) bright daylight.
In other words, the LEDs are shite.
Can I get more installed or replace them? |

I don't know if you wont be able to get free upgrades. But I am 100% that your warranty is broken.
I cannot understand. My back light works pretty fine. It is not of course like Christmas tree 8310  but is ok.
