Hi guys. I am just curious as to what Android phones have LED notification. For me this is a very important feature. Reason is if you get a missed call, sms or WhatsApp and you dont see it as it comes through...how do you know that there is something waiting for you. Surely this should be standard on all phones? Why dont all Manufacturers have it?

My Moto Defy has one...and I dont think I would want a new phone without it.
 
I dunno, but it looks like it really is a little gem that some manufacturers just feel completes the phone. Motorola seem to produce very polished products in general (ok, not in general, but their android phones are pretty rock start).

Ockie, I also need my notification light to survive! Also, the fact that I have whatsapp for a green/blue colour, google chat and sms for green, missed calls red, and emails green . Very nice :)
 
This must the biggest gripe I have with my Samsung Nexus S. The lack of a notification light. Why samsung, why?
 
I've also often wondered about this - Samsung seems to be leaving this feature off most of their phones lately - no idea why. But it's interesting that Apple also doesn't see it as important.
 
Motorola Defy (MB 525) has. Cheaper than most, but I am very happy with mine.

The LG Optimus One (P500) does not have led notification.
 
x10 has it, and you can set different colours for the different app notifications, it is awesome!
 
An app that switches on the Bluetooth or Wifi (anything that lights up) would be nice (if it doesn't already exist).

The Samsung Galaxy S has BLN, that lights up your touch keys. So if your phone is lid up you know there is something there, no LED notification needed.
 
it came in with iOS5 .... works through the camera flash - so you cant select diferent colours but it will flash for notifications -- and its freakin bright!!:wtf:
