I didn't understand why you were asking about the notification LED at the time.
I just made a search and discovered there were phone without it selling now... :eek:
It never crossed my mind you could make a phone without it ! I think all my phones since 15 years got one, even on the pre-smartphone era for SMS notification...

And as always, chen has our back, already trying to do it ;)

You got my committed effort.

In my opinion, people forgot about LED simply because iphone doesn't have one.

Same logic to removable battery and pin to remove sim card.

It's a real shame, and I want to stir this **** pot back as much as I can.

I wonder why nobody ever tries to use electroluminescent paint on keyboards like they use on watches to save battery drain.

Edit: I meant tritium radioluminescent

Or even glow in the dark paint with a keyboard light toggle switch.

Edit again: After looking it up on Wikipedia, it's too expensive and too much regulations. But the glow in the dark paint with keyboard toggle light switch?

Qwerty layout is not obvious to me. Is it possible to switch between layouts?

Hello chenliangchen. There are three things i would love to see on this phone. Led notification, double tap to wake and glance screen. Those are the most essential things to me

I need to hire more engineers and increase the price to buy/steal AMOLED from Samsung ;)

I believe if you make a wish list from everyone that the cost will be higher than the new Iphone (8?) :p

I don't know, if *I* would even care if it had really good quality, good hardware, is as-open-as-possible and has SFOS on it ;)

Absolutely and the device will also hit the market in 3-5 years.
I think it doesn't make sense, to consider every suggestion that is made. I think chen is quite aware, what is important for most of us and he will take in account everything which is reasonable, doable and affordable.

Anyway I think there will be a lot things which any of us would like to have in another way. There can't be a device which fits any needs!
