Is there a way to set the backlight on while the 8330 is charging. It would be nice to have it lit up while in the cradle.

Program to turn on Screen light when texted?
http://www.blackberryforums.com/afte...en-texted.html

and here is the link to that and several other free aps:
http://www.blackberryforums.com/afte...-included.html

BBLight: Allows you to set the screen backlight to stay on under certain conditions, i.e. charging, time of day, etc.
BBReply: Allows you to show a different reply to address on your emails. (This is now done in BIS and this app doesn't work on newer devices.)
BBToday: A Today screen with customizable fields for weather, stocks, email info, etc.
BBWeather: Allows you to quickly check current weather and forecasts for locations you specify.
BBCorrector: A spell checking application.

Page 11-12 of the above link for BB aps talks about the BBLight and the latest codes:

The last post on page 11 shows the LATEST version of BBLight:

BBLight v1.85:
OTA - http://www.tateu.net/software/bb.php?f=bblight
Desktop - http://www.tateu.net/software/dl.php?f=bblightdt
Source- http://www.tateu.net/software/dl.php?f=bblightsrc

Changes:

V1.85 Beta 2008-05-16
* Fixed problem that kept "Activate on Startup" from working.

V1.84 Beta 2008-05-16
* Added a system check to keep the backlight from turning on when the device is locked

V1.83 Beta 2008-05-15
* Added SMS and Email monitoring - turns backlight on when new msg is received
* Changed the options screen layout
* Changed "On Remove Holster" to "Out of Holster" and changed the way it worked. Now,
with this option checked, the backlight will always be on when the blackberry is not
in it's holster. This never worked for me in previous versions so I changed it.
* Changed "On External Power" to "External Power/Charging" and changed the way it worked. Now,
with this option checked, the backlight will always be on when the blackberry is plugged in
and/or charging. This never worked for me in previous versions so I changed it.

I would also be interested to know this. It would be nice for the screen to not timeout when using BBMaps with GPS (while plugged into a car charger).
