Eriktion SK3 Back light during keyguard? 2 Apr 19 2009, 7:59 PM EDT by truth_x3

I saw a picture of a SK3 that was closed, and I guess it was the wallpaper for the keygaurd that was displayed. It was lit up.

My question: How do I turn on the backlight while I'm in keygaurd and the phone is closed?

Any other way besides the top-right bumper?
