Yes if you get a text or missed call it comes up as like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle on the lock screen and if you move it across to the empty space it not only unlocks the phone but takes you straight to the call log or text message screen.

As for alarm and appointments i don't really use these so not sure but i will have a look.

The EPIC 4G does. Its on the upper right hand corner right next to the camera.

However, the rest does not.

Honestly, why do we need it anyway? We all would be checking our phones every 2 minutes regardless, no?

Interesting about the Epic. Not even the original SGS has an LED.

On checking, you are right. But that is where the LED can be handy...don't need to turn it on. I've had LED on my old outdated Tilt, and am quite accustomed to it.

But alas, I plan to have the Captivate w/o it.

I've seen some posts in the DEV area where they may be working on an alterntive. One thing I saw was they were considering turning on a small number of pixels with different colors for different conditions, while the phone is in standby.

They make the case that for this phone, that the light being on is just turning pixels on or off, with different colors. So, with no backlighting, just a small number of pixels on, would not use much battery to speak of.

It'll be interesting to see if anything comes of it.

I'll be fine with no LED indicator because im coming from iPhones for the last 3 years.

I had one question tho, if you get a txt will it beep again lets say 10 minutes later if you dont check it? that how the iPhone is, so if you not around your phone when you first get the txt it will go off again 10 minutes later...

A reminder beep would work for me.
