Does Lumia 1520 have notification light , I mean when you have new msg or email, does it blink ?

Nope.

No.

That's why the glance feature is so great...tells you what you want to know, not every single notification. Mine is set for work emails only, no personal ones....and messages, Facebook and Twitter updates.

Nokia seem to have an aversion on their Windows Phones to Notification lights sadly.

The rather tiny glance screen icons are okay, but at least the option for something a bit more noticeable would be nice, especially if you could assigns colours for different people/types of alert.

About 88% smartphones don't have notification lights.

Notification light is one thing I really miss in the Lumia series. My old phone had it and it was a very helful feature in identifying missed calls and sms's.

In my 1320, the touch buttons at the bottom do not even glow. At times in the dark it really sucks. I expected at least in the Lumia 1320 those touch buttons would emit light.

That Start button only blinks for notification when your phone is dead flat when you are charging it. Same for 920 as well.

Yes, it is one of few thing that I hate about Lumia series. It doesn't have notification light. I don't use Glance screen as I don't really see point of it. But I mean how hard is tu put notification light?

I'm confused....you don't see the point of the glance screen?

It IS the notification center for Nokia. Uses next to no battery power yet when on constant mode gives you the time as well as live notifications of your choosing.

I'm just not sure how anyone could not think this is a million times better and more informative than a blinking light?

Glance screen is not an answer for Notification light. We are talking about two different features. Notf'n Light: Lets you know that there a(some) notifications to be attended.
Glance: Lets you see what the notifications are.
Its a step by step procedure.
Use of N Light: Say your phone is in a visible distance(out of your reach). This is the best use in real time. Only then you go and check(may b by using Glance).

If u look into the Lumia 1520 earpiece carefully, there is a dotted thing. I think it is LED

A nice feature is not 100% use full unless user is given the privilage to turn it off..

No you don't....if you're close enough to your phone to see a blinking light, you're close enough to get off your ***, walk over and look at it. :winktongue:
