Whats the LED for ?

[MR_G]

On the front of the 6680 in the top left hand corner there is a white dot/LED. What is this used for and where are the settings for it. I can find no mention of this in the manual.

Heyloo!

It's the light sensor. It monitors how much ambient light there is and adjusts the screen and keypad illuminations appropriately.

I love Nokia

And there was me thinking that it was a steel-cutting white laser diode, Bond stylee!

Does it work at all reliably then? I got one of those on my iPAQ and I have to say it's rubbish on that device - more like an on/off switch for the backlight with very little going on in the dim/undim department.

I'd like to "love Nokia" but Orange won't budge unless I part with bundles of cash - and I'm feeling a bit mean at the moment on account of me wanting it for free!

It basically switches you from bright screen but no keypad to softer lit screen and illuminated keypad - that way you get the best viewing conditions in most ambient lighting setups without wasting battery.

S'worth £80 alone!
