It shouldn't be too difficult if you've owned a blackberry (or any smartphone, really)....

ok! dont know if i saw this question yet so here it is!: is there an led notification light as far as ANYONE KNOWS?! gonna be doing alot of tethering bbm, messages, email, social would love for the playbook to have a notification light or screen flicker or SOMETHING!

Posted by B_Blaire Tuesday, Apr 12, 2011 407 days ago

Yes, there is a notification light(wouldnt be a BlackBerry without one). Its not an actual LED on the border or else where. You may be saying, how are we gonna get notified without a light??? Well, this is how it works, at the top left corner of the device just where the border and the screen meet, theres this glowing color indicator that notifies you. It looks cool, theres a video on one of the CrackBerry blogs that shows it. Hope I can get one!

the icons are looking really nice and consistent. hopefully they have less of those doc icons with the folded edges. Im sure RIM could think of better less generic ones than that :)
