I downloaded a free flashlight app for my BlackBerry Curve. The app has like 6 or 7 different light settings, pink, blue, purple etc. The little light on the top right of my BlackBerry changes colours accordingly.
But, I would like to make my phone flash those colours when I receive messages, bbms, and whatnot. Do I need a special app for that, or is the option already on my phone?
