On many occasions, I've used a mobile phone as a flashlight, or a torch if you prefer. It's almost always handy and I can make it light up easily. And there are even some models, such as the Nokia 1100, that have a torch built in.

Imagine someone you love is in for surgery, they are on the operating table, and the power goes out? What do you do? Well if you're a family member of Leonardo Molina, who was on the operating table when the power went out in a Buenos Aires hospital, you gather up some mobile phones and let the surgeons finish their work: by the light of mobile phones.

Would you want to be operated on by mobile phone light, if that was your only choice? What do you think? Leave your feedback in the comments.
