Thanks my bluetooth was set on. I turned it off and now no more blue flash when in sleep mode. Udayan Chauhan, perhaps you should actually try something before criticizing it. Hat off to penfold.

I may as well stick with the sticking it face down. I woke up to what I thought was an alien landing when I forgot. I can't stand the phone at all, it was more a hand me down. It's slow to do anything and since upgrading its firmware it no longer works with bluetooth on a Mac (10.5). I'm going to avoid Nokia from now on.

I wonder why they never bothered to include an option to disable the blue blinking light. Not that it would be useful for anything either.

The only thing you need to do is to put the phone wherever you put it at night with the screen facing down. Pröblem sölved.

I think Nokia should include an option to disable this in the next N73 firmware updated. I have an N73 and the blue flashing LED is the most annoying thing when you are sleeping!

If the phone is in sleep mode, the screen will be pitch black (same when it is switched off). Hence, it is extremely useful and it saves alot of battery.

They should at least add an option to turn it off because I do know when my phone is still on or not. And even if I would not I would realize the state after pushing a button.

I believe the rationale behind this is to tell you that your phone is very much still turned on even though the screen probably says it isn't.
