I thought mine stopped working too but I think it has a photo eye somewhere that only turns it on in dark light. Try is and see what happens. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I'd love to have a backlight on the hardware keyboard. In the dark I either hold my mini-flashlight in my mouth or peck the screen keyboard with the stylus.
It's droll that two respondents are certain there is a keyboard backlight but can't actually make it work.

Mine does have a lit keyboard as well. Sometimes mine won't work, but I have noticed that if I wait for about 2-3 seconds it will light up. Possible a timing to touch keyboard setting of some sort? Do you find this valuable?

RE: Keyboard backlight? - not on my 7501

No Backlight - it even says so in the reviews and it really is a missing. It would have been so easy to add. I have to say, between the continual freezing up even after the ROM upgrade, the lack of ability to skin it without adding instability, and the size and slowness of the device, I am severely disappointed with my purchase. Windows Mobile 6 is a joke and Microsoft deserves to be sued out of existence for their continual lies about how much you can do with it. My experience is its all crap. 1  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

I took your advice and carried my 6800 into a dark room. Sure enough, the keyboard backlight came on. Now the problem is that it really has to be dark to make it work ,and I can't find any documentation of this feature. Do you find this valuable?
