	One thing that i like on my older phone, a Sony Ericsson W800i, is the light (camera light, but you can use it without the camera). So i thought about a solution for my Freerunner and the result is the following article. At least ⇒ At own's risk ;)		One thing that i like on my older phone, a Sony Ericsson W800i, is the light (camera light, but you can use it without the camera).
