Need to know-email checking via cell, blackberry

[msincredible]

I'm required to have a BB for work. When I'm working or traveling for work I check it pretty frequently. Even if you turn off all the audible or vibrate alerts for emails, I haven't found a way to turn off the blinking red light when you get a new message, and it's pretty hard to ignore that.

On the other hand, I have absolutely no cell signal at my house or for miles around, so I can't check it there. Even though I work from home when I'm not out visiting customers, I have to say that's not such a bad thing.

Duct tape. Works like a charm.

Haha, I already have a rubber band holding the BB together as I've dropped it so many times.

I do want to see the red light sometimes, though...I'd like something I could turn on and off.

Well, if you put a little piece on the light when you don't want to see it, and remove it when you do, you've got it made. I do that for my bike computer because I really dislike seeing the speed, but I want the stats at the end of the ride. I've also used a fabric bandaid.

You could also put a fat rubberband on that covers the light, since you already have rubberbands holding it together. Or a little piece of fabric under your existing rubberbands. That would be easier to remove and replace as needed.

Thanks for the suggestions.

To turn off the LED you go into Profiles (I usually just click on the little speaker in the upper right corner, where you set it to vibrate). Scroll down to Advanced Options... Scroll down to your usual default profile (I usually only use phone only, to it's already selected on mine). Click on it, scroll down to what you want to change, click, and pick what you want.

Note that if you don't change it on all profiles, it will blink when you're on vibrate or silent or whatever.

Thanks Tuckervill, that's perfect. I guess I never looked under the "Repeat Notification" option.
