I have a simmilar problem as the OP. Whenever I plug my phone into my PC to charge/sync, the backlight turns on. Hitting the power button on the phone does turn it back off, but only for about 30 seconds - 1 minute - then it comes back on again.

It seems like the phone wants to have the backlight on the entire time it is connected to the PC. Since I charge the phone via the PC overnight this is very annoying to me and I am also worried about it reducing the lifetime of the screen.

I have tried messing with all the powerr ooptions and can't find any contorl over this - is there any way to have the screen *NOT* come on while synching ? Or at least the backlight?
