V600 - External Display

Here's a really strange thing!

If i lightly press the case to the right of the little 'mirror' on the
front, the external display lights up and i can see the time and the signal
level?

Is this a 'feature'?

Cheers

I've tried that on mine and nothing happens. I doubt its a feature.
My V600 and my wifes both show the time, signal, battery etc when closed.
I'd go with what BruceR said and contact Motorola.

If you open your phone & look below the screen on the right - there's a
lump, when the phone is closed this presses against a button just under te
hinge, which then activates the external display. if yours is only working
when you press it down then your phone is faulty & you need it seen to, as
your phone thinks it is "open" all the time.

Thanks,

Your absolutely right, fiddling with the little plastic button i can get it
to work. This ones going back to the retailer.

Cheers
