CuteCW is a morse code application I use on N900 maybe worth a look if you fancy.
Normally there is a character per second value but there is nothing too complicated about sentences in morse.

Thank you for the new version.
I was imagining a live keyboard type method but typing a string and pressing enter works fine.

You wouldn't need flash brightness IMO. I would stick to known safe limits of the LED's where possible.
