    any way to turn off that green light in t68i?

    any way to turn off that green light in the upper left corner of the t68i? can i open the phone up and disconnect some wires? i just don't particularly like that constant blinking that doesn't serve much purpose..

    you might be able to open it up and snip some wires (at your own risk) but that's it. the green light does serve a purpose- it tells you that you have service.. pretty useful for finding your phone in the dark, too.
    nothing to do with anything: http://www.boinng.com

    there's nothing in the software to shut it off....but i guess if you are desperate you can open the case up and use a solder gun and heat up the connection and take it off (do at your own risk)

    I, personally, love that green light, and one of the many reasons I love Ericsson phones...

    Sell the T68i and get a Nokia instead.
    Less chances of screwing up that way.

    But I can't imagine an Ericsson phone without the blinking light though.

    it's an Ericsson signature feature...i think it's cool and useful, but if you find it annoying.....

    Damn thin jeans!

    Your light is visible THROUGH your jeans?
    Either your light is super bright or your jeans are super thin...
