How is the notification LED?

I ordered the white one, but now that I think of it, the LEDs might be hard to see in the light on the white background. Does anyone have any comparison pics of the LED lit up on the blue and white phones?

Also, does it let you change the color of the LED depending on what kind of notification?
 
Its easy to see the notification, very easy. Its quite a bright led.

It does change colour too. There's an app called "light flow" that lets you customise the colours for various notification types. :)

The LED is very bright, can be annoying when trying to sleep in a dark room.

Lightflow is worth every penny and you can set different colours for different applications as matttye states. Essential download.

I was worried that the LED might not be so good compared to my Galaxy Nexus but it's much more vibrant.
 
The LED is plenty bright. I sleep with my eyes closed so it does to bother me while sleeping but it is bright enough to see across the room even in bright light!

This notification LED is a great help and am very glad that Samsung put it in the device.

Do you have the white or blue version of the phone?

Can you tell me: does that app allow you to schedule when the led goes on? As you say, it's very bright and I'd love it if I could turn it off over night but have it come on again in the morning.

Light flow app will do that. Unfortunately, Samsung did something non standard with the notification light on the US versions and light flow doesn't currently work correctly. . The color mappings are all wrong.
 
I find the notification light just OK, quite a bit less noticeable than the Droid X, my only other smart phone to compare.
 
It really sucks that I can't adjust the led colors in handcent. I hate having blue mean both email and text message waiting. The leds are nice and bright though. Blue version.
