Re: Turn off backlight on front four soft buttons?

Nerdherd, here's a work around. It's really not as combersome as it sounds, but it's a process none the less.

Before docking the phone for the night:
Menu > Settings > Sound & Display > Brightness
Turn Automatic Brightness off (if not already)
Slide the brightness slider all the way to the left (lowest possible)
Tap OK.

Then power off the phone. Then place it in the dock.

Putting it in the dock will start it back up, you will also need to unlock the screen to see the clock. Use the power control widget to up the brightness in the morning.

It's way more than it should be, but it's workable until a fix is created or implemented.
