iOS 4.2 supports new tech to reduce network congestion, Nokia Siemens says

Why does the screen on a BlackBerry Curve become brighter when heated by a lighter?
Agent WS asked:
The other day my brother came up to me and had something cool to show; he held a lighter up to the top right corner of his BlackBerry Curve and after about one second, the screen got noticeably brighter! He tried the other three corners, but nothing happened. Any explanation, anyone?

P.S. I have no idea why he would think about lighting it on fire in the first place, but this was a cool discovery!
