They were a good indicator for notifications that are missed when you were away from phone.

I gotta say, sometimes I miss my fully customized LED on my blackberry back in the day. It could be in the bottom of a gym bag and I’d still know if I missed a Google Talk message (green) or a Facebook alert (dark blue) or an email (light blue), etc etc etc.

I had a Galaxy Nexus with a custom ROM and was able to set the led to any color I wanted per app. It was awesome.
