Nokia’s C1 and C2 series try hard not to break even the smallest of banks
It looks like Nokia's conversion from the time-tested four-digit naming scheme to the one-letter, one-number strategy may be nearing completion now that the company has announced a new series of ultra-low end candybars that all have homes within the Cseries . The C1 is actually a three-pack of phones -- the C1-00, C1-01, and C1-02 -- all of which feature Nokia's longest standby time ever (quoted at six weeks ) along with a color display, integrated flashlight, 3.5mm headphone hack, and FM radio; the 01 and 02 variants add microSD slots, while the 01 also features a VGA camera and the 00 becomes Nokia's very first dual-SIM device to hit the market. The C2 is also a dual-SIM device, but unlike the C1-00, the C2 can keep both SIMs active simultaneously, meaning you'll be able to get calls and messages to either SIM without manually switching.

How can I make my BlackBerry’s light flash different colours?
Amber asked:
I downloaded a free flashlight app for my BlackBerry Curve. The app has like 6 or 7 different light settings, pink, blue, purple etc. The little light on the top right of my BlackBerry changes colours accordingly.

But, I would like to make my phone flash those colours when I receive messages, bbms, and whatnot. Do I need a special app for that, or is the option already on my phone?
