Yes you'll get a call and sms notification where ever you may be on the phone. Be it the desktop, the task manager or an application.

Don't bother with the silly debators like 'thefoxtrot' said.

However, take your time and use this community as an asset for helping yourself to understand the phone before you buy it.

There are things which I used to take for granted coming from a Symbian phone. E.g. being able to play music while on a call. Its a big loss of functionality to me but I still can live with it. But you may not, as an example.

So if you can think of other features too which are a must & will be the deciding factors, list them out and get a honest opinion before you put your money down.

No point in realizing that you ended up with something that doesn't work for you later.
