I just got a docking station for my Vox, and now that it's standing up while charging at home, I would like the LCD screen to always remain "on" so that I can quickly glance to see if I have any missed calls or voicemails as I walk by.

I can set my PhoneAlarm SP to make this happen, but I am concerned about the lifespan of the backlight. I used to do with with my little Nokia 6230 for years and never had a problem. Just wanted to get sense from the experts here -- am I risking the lifespan of my LCD by keeping the backlight ON for 20 or so hours each day?

Any info appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon

I dont think so
You can keep the backlight on for as much time as you like
going by the average mtbf it will take at least 5 years for your backlight to conk off if you use it 20 hrs a day
and another 3 years for your LCD
I guess you would buy a new device much before that happens wink.gif
