My motorola E815 has a very bright array of 3 LEDs on the front lid that serves as a "flash" for the cameraphone. It can be turned on constantly via the menu in camera mode, and it stays lit when the lid shuts. Not as bright as my keyring Photon light, but still enough to illuminate the dark corner of a room.

Yeah, I hear you Ben, but that's kind of like telling your daughter to pretend the family dog is the pony she's always wanted. I want the pony, and I don't want to have to fiddle around with the camera menu to get it. For now, though, we make do with what we have.

Glad to hear you're with me! Ben supports the cause!

Virigin Mobile sells the K10 Royale, I have no idea who the manufacturer is, but it has a built in LED flashlight...

Yeah most phones are pretty good at the basics nowadays, and manage to squeeze in a camera, MP3 player, and whatever else into their ever-tinier packages. I would love, though, for Nokia or whoever to have just one high-end model that stripped down the add-ons in favor of even better call performance and sleeker industrial design. Every time I buy a phone, all I look for is Bluetooth, good call/SMS performance, and sleekness. I've got an iPod and a digicam already--just give me a hot, tiny phone only!

Oh, and I guess it wouldn't hurt for more phones to be called the Royale.

Ive always thought an led flashlight would be great on a cell phone. I did not know they were out until my younger brother recently bought a prepaid cell phone from the local dollar store. It came with a high intensity white led at the top of the phone.

The Moto Rokr E1 has a really bright led on the back that can be activated by going into camera mode and turn on flash

it stays on as long as you want it to. I have used it to plug things into the back of my computer many many many times

not sure about the slvr

Nokia 1100 has a flashlight led. It's a no-fuss phone - just calls and text.

The Ericsson K750 or w800i has an led flashlight. I got one of those over a Motorola - the cameras better, the UI is less shitty, etc.

An open platform for me to tinker with. I made the mistake of getting a LG VX-8100, thinking that J2ME meant that it had some sort of Java-based system in there. Silly me.

Oh, and no more crippling the features I paid for, please and thanks.

Flashlight. Definately flashlight. I hate trying to maneuver through a dark hallway with one of those little red keyring LED lights. Put a flashlight on the phone and I'll see you at the checkout counter.

K10 Royale... with cheese.

I'm sure some phones have these features, but even my semi-spiffy Motorola doesn't do some things my watch does... What's so hard about countdown timers and a stopwatch? And maybe text notes that aren't under the guise of "Quick Text" SMS shortcuts.
