I often have problems keeping my back light on when I’m waiting for an email to arrive or when I’m reading an e-book. I know I can always jog the wheel up and down but its just a pain to do it when you just want focus your attention on something important.
Here is a simple utility that keeps your backlight on until you want to turn it off.

what bbs are supported?
Apparently, BB Curve 8300 isn’t supported.
Works OK with 7250.However, even with external power it does not _keep_ the light on. Am I missing something?
Please excuse me if this is a duplicate. I am reposting as I had not completed verification and would like a follow up email if I get a response.Works OK on 7250. However, the light does not _stay_ on, even when connected to external power. Am I missing something?
For those of you who are ADD when trying to fix this problem, when you put the battery back in, do NOT touch the power button. It will turn on by itself. Took me a day to figure that ‘gem’ out.

it was really easy setting the app,but it doesn't work on my 8330 Curve.I tried rebooting the unit after installing it & it's a useless app in my curve
does 8100 work?
Try the screenlight app http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/6808 you can toggle the backlight on/off. Looks like its compatible with all phone models too.
