One thing I wish the iPhone had...

1. A LED notification light blinking all night would not use up the battery in anyway to make a difference in battery consumption. Blackberry's and other phones have this feature with no adverse affects to battery life or usage.

2. If there is an "OPTION" to turn on / off this notification light, both people that want and not want this feature would be happy.

3. There is a thread about someone who mentioned having the home button blink for notification which I think it s brilliant idea.

coming from a simple phone like the Palm Pre, I am amazed at how primitive the notification system is in the iPhone. The home button blinking has been on WebOS for two years. You can set each email account to notify independently with an LED or not, you can even set different blinking codes for text vs mail....the iPhone is a great phone that does lots of great things, but the notification system is downright primitive.

i don't get it .... WHY can't they put blinking led's that you can SEE on any phone other than a blackberry? and samsung seems to think it's fine to have NO led at all on their otherwise really nice phones ... it's hard to imagine why blackberry is pretty much the only phone that does it right, at least in my opinion!
also how about speakers that are loud enough to hear? my n95 8gig was soooo loud that when it rang in a bar everyone would turn and look at me like, wtf, lol!!!
