Tired of having to press a button in order to see if you have missed a message or a call - each time when you have left your phone alone for some time? SMSBlink makes you notice right at a glance! With SMSBlink, the keyboard light will start blinking silently after there has been a new message or call that you have not noticed. Finally, your phone will be as useful as a regular answering machine! And like a regular answering machine, your phone will just be blinking silently - just so that you know there is a message, and can choose to attend to it whenever you wish!

SMSBlinks replaces the normal screensaver whenever the system notification about new messages or calls has been on display for more than 30 seconds. In this case, the screen goes dark and the keyboard will light up every 3 seconds (on slider models, only the upper part of the keyboard will blink). In order to see the sms/call notification, simply press the 'OK' button or slide the phone open.

If you choose to cancel the notification about the new message/call, SMSBlink knows that you wish to take care of the message/call later, so it will not start again. Also, when a message or call arrives while you are currently in an app, SMSBlink assumes that you have taken notice, and will not become active. (Likewise when you have locked the keyboard.) SMSBlink will activate only when the phone is in idle mode (i.e. the idle screen is visible). SMSBlink can be deactivated any time by selecting it from the list of running apps (hold down Menu key).

As an alternative, you can select to have the screen backlight blink instead of the keys. Select 'Options > Blink Mode: Screen' to switch to screen blink mode. In this case, the screensaver displays an icon that will light up every 6 seconds. (In order to prevent unnecessary battery drain, backlight blinking will cease after 30 mins.)
