G1 - Is the keyboard backlit?

[razor1981]

Yes or No?

hmm good question! hopefully vincent or someone thats at the press conference would clue us in on this one

Yes it is ...

ok I guess I will order it...my only gripe is I do not think the screen will look as good as my Nokia E61.

I think that 65k is far enough for the resolution G1 is offering... 480x320 is definitely better that 65k on 320*240 where you can see the difference. Nokia has the great screen of 256k colors - but at the same time lacks in other hardware things...

[Grayslin]

Yes and I agree with Dreamer.

what fone with qwerty, doesn't have back lit key board? i can't remember right now, but if any fone that doesn't have a back lit qwerty key board is kinda dumb to me. i know the sidekicks have it where it will only turn on in a darker environment, so it don't waste battery by staying on constantly.

The keyboard is, but the jogball is not.

What a traffic on the website - don't you think so?

[refused9150]

I do think so. Expect it to be this way in a few months constantly.
