    What do you mean "comes and goes"? Does it fade to black and come on? Or does it dim a little and brighten a little when it wants?

    I have the exact same problem. I just figured it was caused by a power draw by some other function.

    Are you talking about the backlight for the keys or the screen backlight?

    Its not even 2 weeks old. So not memory. The backlight for the keys.

    That is completely normal. There is a light sensor where the blinking led(coverage indicator/missed message alert) is. Try this, go into a dark room, the keys should light up. You can also test this by covering the blinking led with your finger to trick the phone into thinking it is in a low light area.

    If there is light in the room your keys wont light up just because you press a key or use the trackball.

    Mine does it at anytime. I can be sitting in one spot, the ambient light doesn't change and my screen will darken a bit and then about 30 seconds or so later it brightens back up.

    Heh, age plays no real factor in the memory. I could crush the memory on a Curve in 2 days with improper use.
