Anyone know how to enable the backlight on the P800 to come on when the alarm goes off.

I often set my alarm for 4:00 in the morning, and the annoying thing is, im half asleep, reach over and grab the phone, and because its still dark outside, the rooms pitch black, and I cant see which option to select on the phone.. Often its just trial and error. Lastnight I set the alarm for 4:00, wanted to select snooze, but instead did the 'off' mode, so I overslept =P

Anyone know how its possible to see the screen when this happens ?

If you're on R2F I dont think there is anyway of getting the backlight to come on. I have the same problem when I receive sms's. No back light unless I press down the jog dial - in which case it aoutomatically opens up the sms!

it worked in R2D, doesnt work on R2F (AND WE THOUGHT R2F is a BUG FIX!!!!!)

yeah the SMS is prolly the most anoying, coz i liked the way the light came on for the alert.. though some ppl never did like that, sayign ti woke them during their sleep!
