That's where you'd be wrong. A friend of mine has one and it has two white LEDs in the top which turn on when you press the up key. They are very bright and very pure white and as they are LEDs not incandescent, I shouldn't think they will drain the batteries too fast.
Besides, I hardly think anyone is going to use the phone to go trekking on a moonless night are they? I am often in situations where it would be really useful to have a light, but I can't be bothered to carry my maglite around all the time. As I always have my phone with me it would solve the problem neatly. Kind of wish I hadn't got that 7210 a month ago, as the 5100 does all the same things and more.

That's a very good good point; you can be prescribed heroin - which has no benefits - in order to get over your addiction to it, whereas you cannot be prescribed cannabis - which does have some benefits - under any circumstances. This is a great example of the government's inability to look at the issues in depth, and instead just continue plodding along and pandering to all those Daily Mail readers who throw their arms up in horror at any mention of cannabis, whilst they sit there reading with a gin in one hand a cigarette in the other.

The UK has not legalised cannabis, it is still a controoled substance here. What with the state of our political system/the media here at the moment, I shouldn't think this will change any time soon.
How do you figure that out? The uk went from ~400 lines in b/w to ~700 lines in colour, with a picture quality NTSC has never come close to. I rather think that the public did benefit quite a lot. Besides, my digital terrestrial recevier has an RF out and a SCART socket that simply connect to a standard analogue tv/vcr setup, it also has a DVB socket in the back for future upgrades.
