Which one is recommended?

They're all different. Give all three of them a shot.

I just tried NoLED and I thought it sucked. I use Handcent SMS and when I received a text the quick reply box popped up and stayed there without ever turning the screen back off. I could see the NoLED icon floating around the screen behind the quick reply box but it seemed to cause my phone not to sleep Not cool at all.

I tried NoLED, but that was just an icon floating around the screen. FlashNotify flashes the whole screen, and also allows an audible notification every time it flashes. It doesn't work for emails and voice mails, only SMS and missed calls. That's fine though, all I was looking for.

Maybe email the developer and let him know theres a whole net set of phones on the market that need his app. Maybe he can include notifications for things like VM and email and stuff.

I already did.

Voicemail, for me anyway, is usually the result of a missed call, so they kinda go hand in hand. Would be nice to have an email notification though.

I installed flash notify on my wife's phone and it works well. You have a lot of control over how often ur screen flashes and the duration. But does anyone know if it makes entering new contacts difficult?

Not really worried about notifications myself...

I mean I check the phone frequently enough throughout the day that it doesn't matter if there is an LED notify.

I always found those LED's to be annoying anyway, especially when you have a lot of emails or text a lot.

I think the NOLED is a great concept and maybe if it was a static "better looking" image I would give it a try. I really like the idea of the screen essentially being off but a slightly transparent ghostly clock that showed through.
