Ambient Light Sensor?! Cool!!

I just got my K1m today from VZW, and it's pretty sweet so far.

I noticed that the keypad doesn't back-light (consistently) in a bright room or outside; but turn the lights off and it's consistently on. At first I thought it was a defect, but now I'm almost sure there's a light sensor in there somewhere.

Anyone else notice this? Should be a good battery saver... 😎

I noticed that too. I also found the light sensor. When the phone is open, it is below the keypad, right above the microphone hole. Pretty nifty.

I agree, my RAZR V3 has a small hole on the keypad just above the Clear button. If you put your finger over it, the backlight goes on.

I've just had such crappy phones for the last 5 years that I haven't noticed. Forgive my ignorance 😛

On the plus side, I'm sure a lot of people didn't know this, so we don't all have to look dumb 😉
