HTC Touch Diamond notifications

May 10th, 2008

In an earlier post we mentioned the ring of LEDs around the dpad on the HTC Touch Diamond and how these LEDs acted as notification lights for various events on the device.

Paul (MoDaCo) and I managed to capture the LEDs 'in action' in this very short video clip below. In this instance the notification, the lights spinning around the dpad, tells you that you have an unread text message.

I like the idea of the notifications as you can see what's going on with the phone without having to turn on the screen and waste valuable battery power.

Other notification states for the LEDs are slowly throbbing for voicemail and flashing for unread email.
