Default Samsung Epic has no notification light?

I've looked all over for info regarding this, but can't find anything so far.

I saw in the Samsung Captivate forum that there are devs working on a screen LED since the captivate has no LED. Does that mean that all of the samsung galaxy phones have no notification lights?

The main thing ima miss about my Nexus One is the colored trackball. I assumed there would be at least a upper notification led like tha majority of phones out today.

The Epic does have a notification light. First 2 pictures: Top right of phone, in between the Sprint logo and the front-facing camera.

Oh wow! I hadn't seen those pictures. Indeed there is a notification light!

I'm wondering why the Captivate or Vibrant don't have the notification light? It seems like they really did make the Epic better than the other 3 galaxy phones!

These two videos further confirm there's at least two colors (blue and pink):

I've seen both of those videos but never paid attention to if there was a notification light or not!

We need more video of this amazing phone!

Fantastic, this allays one of my biggest concerns. Now if they release a car dock that works with Car Home, I'd have positively no hesitation in buying this phone.

Make your own car dock... for much cheaper. It won't auto launch the car home dock, but I made one for my Hero following a forum member's guide and it came out perfect. Cost ~$10... just use a different person for the garmin dock, i waited 2 months without receiving anything from ebay seller he recommended.

I have a car dock for my G1, but launching Car Home, automatically turning on bluetooth, etc. is sort of the point

Anyone have any ideas as to how configurable the notification lights/colors are? It'd be cool if I could have blue for work email, pink for texts, and maybe flashing blue for personal email. (or something like that)
