Initially, we were told it would. A decision was made later that the Tackpad wouldn't light up.
Why? Nobody knows.

No offense though(to Chen + BB), but a stupid decision. I had the 9790 briefly, and it was cool how it lit up. Something so small, but surprised it was overlooked...
LOL, pretty much in every thread where someone received one and offered to answer questions that question was one of the first to be asked. And answered. So much so that when someone posted a picture of the box, everyone joked around by first asking "Does the box light up?" And not to mention: http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=984520
