Hell I've used my cell light to see all kind of things. I even had a cheap cell a few years ago that had a led flash light on it.

My current cell phone has a flashligh. It is an old Virgin Mobile phone that is the toughest thing around. The ruggedness and LED light are handy because I ride I motorcycle and I've used the light for roadside repairs.

I use my phone all the time for a source of light.
The great thing about this is not all public places are lit well so your phone can be your headlights on high beams :) lol
use it responsibly.

I have Sony Ericsson K550i, it has a dual led flashlight, wich also works as camera light, it's surprisingly bright, and I can make it go SOS.

I use my psp all the time as a flashlight when the powers off because literally the batteries in the flashlights and lanterns always seem to be dead when they're actually needed.

my mp3 player is a lifesaver, even in non-life-threatening events.
@defgod and pantherm: i bet they were a Kyocera K9 (Rave). i used to sell those. Gave one to my daughter as her first phone.

This kind of emergency is the very reason why I always carry a US@ 0.40 Chinese made high intensity 3 led hand cranked (rather squeezed) rechargeable torch with me all the time.
