I have used a blackberry since i was 12 years old, and one of my favorite features of it is that status indicator. I constantly realize i have messages or calls without having to even touch my phone. Why wouldn't the iphone feature something similar? its such a small thing to ask for, I wonder if it'd be an easy mod? Share thoughts on this.
 
For me , it's not really a big deal. I'm always looking at my phone and if I'm not it's in my pocket where you wouldn't be able to see an indicator anyway.
 
Apple is against visual & tone notifications. They want you to always have it in your hand and checking it. That's good ol' free advertisement. :)
 
See i'm just the opposite because my phone is next to me on my nightstand. I would get annoyed looking at that blinking light when trying to go to sleep.
 
Not a big deal for me either but I wonder if they could write a software upgrade to use the flash LED for that?
