Default Is there a light around the trackpad?

I watched a youtube video on a review of the g2. He was claiming there was a light around the trackpad that lights up say when you get a call, or a notifing you have a miss text etc etc. I couldn't find an option for this or havn't seen it light up either. Anyone?

Yes. There is a light around the track pad. It flashed for me when I received a text.

Yeah I take that back. Just text myself and saw it, but is there any options/settings we can do? For example to flash rapid, slow, etc etc.

From what I've found, there are no settings for that. I would also like to be able to configure it. And they should have made it more than just white

Yeah would of been nice to have different colors for different notifications. I feel like it flashes to slow for me also. Maybe there will be an app for it. Use to have the BB9700 long time ago. That had an app you can fully customize the Led. Colors, speed, notifications etc.

Yes, there is a light.

I was able to set the color through TouchDown.

I guess touchdown is a 20$ email exchange app?

Are you positive the colors work? Can you take a pic of the trackpad lighting up some color other than white?

The app Blink which is ment to control the color and flash rate does not work for me
