Technically this is pretty easy. As the BlackBerry Pearl (this example) comes with a bright screen - like all BlackBerry devices - you can also use it as a flash light.

There are a bunch of flashlight / torch applications out there and you can choose one of them. I guess there is no big difference. The really cool thing is, you can use your BlackBerry’s convenience key to link a key directly to your flashlight application. Lern more on your convenience / soft key setting HERE.

So if I am in the dark and am looking for the lock to put my key in - I just click the softkey on my BlackBerry, the flashlight switches on, and I can see what I am doing! Easy, huh? :)
