To me, having the phone able to perform basic notification functions (LED blink, vibrate, make a sound) on certain events, even when the phone is on standby, seems like a very desirable - not to say obvious - feature. I was right on the verge of buying a FreeRunner when I read the message above, but think I may hold off for now, as it looks like that sort of functionality isn't something a firmware upgrade would enable. Is my understanding correct? If so, am I also right in thinking that retrofitting the hardware capability to do this would be *really* hard without serious SMT-soldering/PCB-fabrication tools and a big investment of time? Many thanks in advance for your help, Sam
