NEC Terrain
I'm always looking for any new discussions on the NEC Terrain. Because it was focused on the "business" community, it never got much (if any) publicity. That's a shame, because it's a really good phone that cost less than many mid-tier phones that don't have its specs. The Terrain has a physical keyboard, which will always limit screen size. Yet that is always a point of contention during reviews. Many folks love physical keyboards. We will gladly bypass the six inch "gaming/video-watching" devices that pass for cellphones these days. It operates on the ICS OS and I know that's dated. But you throw a 32GB SD card in this bad boy and you can save just about any type of application to that card that probably provides the latest functions. I'm ...

I found the LED to be a little confusing as well. I know that it will usually flash red during charging and it will flash green when complete. Blue usually indicates some type of alert (message, email, notification, etc). But there's no distinction. It just clues you in to check the pull down notification screen. Let me know if you find additional uses. I believe there's an Android app that will allow you to assign LED to personal choices/actions.
