juggalo thats the light sensor ... to test it place a call then put your finger over it. the backlight should cut off. Also I believe there is a setting in prower/screen brightness to turn the sensor on.
(Start > Settings > Backlight tab and then select Auto adjust backlight)

really? because the help file indicates the device is equip ed with 2 cameras. and if that's not a camera what is it then because its not an led and it has that purple tinge like a polarized lenses like the rear camera.

"Your device has two built-in cameras: MAIN CAMERA: A rear 3.2 megapixel CMOS camera for capturing high resolution pictures and video clips with audio

2ND CAMERA: A front camera for video calls and self-portrait shooting.

Note: the 2nd camera may only be available in some devices"

so i understand we may not have it but if what im seeing in the corner of the ear peice isnt a camera WTF is it then lol

Where does it say this in the manual? I'm looking at the PDF version that came on the CD, and the spec's say:

Camera Module

Type

Resolution

Digital Zoom Up to 4X

A search for "main camera" in the PDF file comes up with nothing.

Huh... Didn't even know there was on-line help. Thanks!

BTW, do you have the GPS photo enabled in yours? That doesn't show in the on-line manual or paper manual, but it's on mine. I did a registry tweak to enable it, I think...

If you look at this link, about 1/3 of the way down, you can clearly see the second camera on this phone (GSM version), and it's labeled.

the ONLY program i have been able to get to do this is opera. and the camera but it opens in land scape mode. im kinds sad i like the whole concept of tilting to flip anything into landscape mode.

It only does it for certain apps. There might be a solution to this over at XDA someone has made though that makes it rotate in most apps, but as of this time it doesn't work with the Telus ROM.
