    In reply to Sanyo Eneloop Lamp Charges Wirelessly, Doubles as a Flashlight
    "Sanyo's press release says it'll switch modes when it's turned horizontal, mentioning that there's some kind of accelerometer, although it seems like a simple activate-on-disconnect system would work just fine."


    If it were a disconnect-activated thing, there's a couple ways of doing it - the wrong way, which would be to have it detect an absence of induction - which would default to flashlight mode in the event of an outage - or the right way, using a magnet and a hall effect sensor.


    For the way they say it actually will be, you don't really need an accelerometer, just a mercury switch.

    Pardon my ignorance, but what are those colored LEDs actually used for? Other than to activate "Bosskev Vision", that is:

    Can you mix the LED's up to enable you to follow blood trails? I mean, in case you ever have to find a wounded animal. Seriously. I in no way would need this to track someone who cut themselves escaping from the dungeon.

    I usually just use the light from the phone display if I'm fumbling around in the dark...

    When you hit your 'O-Face' the phone sends a text to your five favorites and let's them know you just rubbed one out..

    "HEY, I AM GENERIC USER: "JERKOFF", I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I DONT APPRECIATE YOU ALL HAVING FUN AND ENJOYING YOURSELF. I AM REALLY SERIOUS AND THIS IS GETTING ANNOYING. THIS IS GETTING SO ANNOYING THAT I FEEL I SHOULD TELL THE WORLD SO MAYBE I WOULD GET A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION SINCE MY PARENTS ABANDONED ME LIKE OSWALD COBBLEPOT"


    HOPEFULLY THIS POST DETERS ANY "REAL" D-BAGS FROM POSTING THEIR RETARDED COMMENTS ABOUT THEM NOT HAVING FUN. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. YOU SIT IN YOUR KITCHENS ON HALLOWEEN WITH THE LIGHTS OFF BECAUSE YOU DONT THINK KIDS SHOULD ENJOY CANDY, AND WAIT FOR THOSE KIDS WHO TRY TO TEEPEE YOU EVERY YEAR SO YOU CAN KIDNAP THEM AND LOCK THEM IN YOUR BASEMENT AND NEVER ALLOW THEM TO HAVE FUN AGAIN. EVER.

    I'd say that it's sort of not worth it, since other phones have brighter LED lights, but mine can't project April clown, so I suppose it wins.

    i used to have a sony ericsson w600i that had an uber bright light built in. i LOVED that phone.


    sadly, through a series of events at a stage hypnosis event in college, the screen was irreparably broken.

    @ColonelSplendid: haha yea I had several VM phones (K7, Flasher V7 i think, Switch_back, and then wild_card), I gave them to people when I moved on to another phone (except the Switch_back wich has a busted LCD, and the Wild_card, I still have those). Just recently I had a VM wild_card, but I got sick of VM not letting me use bluetooth to put my own ringtones and there crappy rates. Now I am with MetroPCS and couldn't be happier....
