Although you have more time and experience with the 6700, I am going to disagree with you. There MUST be a way for the device to notify that it is being slid open because the screen orientation automatically switches to landscape.

Now, is the ability possible when the phone is in a suspended mode? I don't know. Assuming that it is, wouldn't it be possible to have an application hook into that event and act accordingly (ie, turn the backlight on) ?
