If a notification light and a feature like holding ur phone to ur ear to call a person in a text string is what's important, then by all means u deserve a phone like the galaxy. Stupid bells and whistles that have no real world use only annoy me. It seems like all these other companies advertise their phones based soley on stupid features (samsung commercials with bump to share photos etc) and to me it only says how bad the actual phone really is. Even when apple does Siri based ads it annoys me because in real life Siri is a half baked feature at best.
Enjoy having to constantly tap your phone to see if you have new messages. A notification light is useful and great, and is not a bell and whistle feature. Maybe if you had even had that feature, you'd see how useful it is.
