If the led blinked, I would know I had an email or sms or whatever that needed checking.
If it's not useful to _you_ does not mean it's not useful to someone else.
- N8 breathing light is very useful.
- if the led on N9 isn't why have one for the charging even. Seems like a waste.
- led on a dimmed room is very noticeable. I sometimes keep my N9 on a shelf, and although I can't see the led to the other side of the room during the daytime, I can see it even to the other room in the evening and night.
I think the led should be utilized for this purpose, and I hope that, now Inception is out and about, we won't wait long for something like that.

Some people seem to forget that these small things are huge in making the overall experience better.
Whilst no other leading phone manufacturer even considers a standby screen, Nokia provides - and the breathing/blinking LED is just something else that can improve every use enormously.
My Womans SG2 at a glance cannot tell if:
- It is charging or not
- If it is even on
- The Time
- Any email/SMS notifications
Without touching a button we have this information. How is this not great?

I've posted what bothers me about the default calendar application.
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=231
For this reason, I would suggest that the calendar alerts should also be notified by blinking Led.

Don't worry it will, it will...
Then some of us will enjoy our N900's & N9's even more.

What bothers me more, is not just the LED not being used for new e-mails, but no sound alert for new e-mails after the first one arrives. Thus bug is very annoying.

I wonder if we could flash some full brightness solid color squircles on the lockscreen as a kind of workaround for no rgb led?
