Windows Phone Thoughts: Enough with the blue light already!

I love my bluetooth combo T68 and iPAQ 3870, but enough with the blue light already. There has to be a less obtrusive way to let you know bluetooth is activated. The T68, in fact, has that funky B on the screen. Just leave it at that. The Pocket PC could have that B in the system tray or in the Start bar. I wouldn't mind the blinking light when there is an active connection, in fact, that would be nice.



I cannot stand using my iPAQ with the BT radio stack on. The light is annoying. Tried reading an ebook at night with that thing on? You'll go nuts. Modern day Chinese water torture. I use my T68 for an alarm clock on trips and I have to turn the BT stack off or the retina-burning blue flashing LED will keep me awake. The novelty has worn off OEMs. The LED is fine for active connections, but to have for the sake of having? Why not a red flashing LED for enabled IR? A purple flashing LED for WiFi? We could have different colors for 802.11b (purple) 802.11a (white) and 802.11x (black).

What do you think? Am I the only one constantly turning the BT stacks on and off on my devices to keep from burning my rods and cones out?* It isn't like it's easy turning it on and off either. 3-5 taps on the iPAQ, more if a soft reset is required and about 13 on the T68.<!>
