I know this thread has probably been started, but need to know how to get my 8330 to light up when an SMS arrives...

Welcome to the BBForums.

Yes, it has been, and no it won't. There is a third party application which might do it, posted over in our Aftermarket Software section.

Here you go...
SMS LED Alert - Communication & Internet Blackberry Software on MobiHand

Not fair, but I'll give it a try.

I use a little application called SMS Display On which lights up your screen when a text comes.

[JSanders]

lol what is not fair?

BBLight does this, as well. You can find it in the Aftermarket Software stickys.

And it's free.

[JSanders]

ha! I didn't know BBLight did this. I haven't used it in a while, so I had forgotten.

I downloaded BBLight and I don't see the feature to make it light up on SMS...Care to point out where it is?

I do not understand why RIM would exclude such a basic feature besides to save battery life...but at the same time I don't think it would make that much of a difference

Did you download the latest version? You may have downloaded an older version that didn't include that option.

RIM excludes plenty of basic features, but I guess everyone here just deals with them by paying for 3rd party apps >.>

There are many great apps that are free. BBLight is but one of them.
