Forgot the sensation has a led for reminding, like my current blackberry torch which I would miss greatly, damn you decisions!

This is one of the three things I miss about my desire, the others being a decent browser (sg2 is pretty bad) and the optical trackpad/button

...What browser did you have then and what browser did you try on the s2?

I was thinking the same thing bruv. Maybe some people don't like the hardware accelerated browser because it's too fast for them.

He probably means the skin, ain't the prettiest of browsers.

against my n1 i had loaded ocuk and read the last few posts in a thread and closed the browser before my n1 had loaded ocuk fully.. cant really complain at that!


the search box skin? not much else you'll see much of.

The SG2 doesnt have this? How do you know when you have a text or something?

 

[Belloni]

Not that i know of Fox, that's a big sway for me!

I think it just works like the iphone, it will light up when recieved a text but you'll have to actually check the phone to see if you have a text etc.

All this whinging about which has the better camera and how one sucks because the lense isn't as good and people overlook something as fundamental as that. It is, of course, a PHONE at the end of the day and not being able to tell at a glance when you have a message or a missed call is a significant failing.

 

[Belloni]

This is what is making me go towards the sensation. I love the LED on my blackberry more useful then i thought it would be!

 

[Psypher5]

yup no notif led, except the stupidly loud speaker gonna try and set mine to re alert every 5 mins or so if i can.

Last night i went to the kitchen, came back and wouldnt have known i had a text if i hadnt have checked the time, just have to make sure phone is on me or i check it.

...Not necessarily a deal breaker though.

Surely there's a "notify LED" app out there somewhere that can make a small portion of the screen blink red. That'd work around the issue.

There are various popup apps too that should be able to stay on until the phone is checked (hence why many request permission to stop the phone from sleeping).

 

[Belloni]

Well, if there isn't within a week or two, i'm getting the sensation!

 

[Psypher5]

look for Noled on the market. was deved for the galaxy s.

if it was just a phone it wouldn't cost £500

No led flashes what youve missed on the screen
