Nokia N96 App Review – cClock

Name: cClock v1.21
Description: Power saver that displays the time and other selected information
Summary: cClock is a popular application. Many people like to use their phones for the time, and cClock enables this without having to press any buttons. Once selected as the power saver, it will display the information you have selected as soon as it kicks in. There are tons of options to tweak the information displayed and then options to change the appearance of them, far too many to mention in fact, but include:
Time, Date, Battery, Signal and Events.
Once you change an option you can preview it easily through ‘options’ which saves you having to wait for it to kick in to see what your change looks like. One option I do like is having the battery and signal displayed in percentage as opposed to bars.
Also included is a stop watch. Very simple to use if you ever need one. I will now be able to time my boiled eggs to perfection!
Rating: 7/10 Great idea, but I would like to see more fonts included. I wont be swapping this application for my Tag Heur though!

Stupid question but how does it activate?
When my phone goes into Power Saving mode, it just goes black…can’t see the application working…
Am I missing a setting?
Thanks

@Bert Wijman:
You need to select Cclock as your powersaver in ‘settings’, otherwise the phone won’t use it.

To be frank its awesome utility which i think which does not effect battery that much and i think it might save battery if you choose black on white config because my N96 when it is standby the screen will appear black completely, As per the technical reference to turning the screen black requires little voltage where as here only pixel where clock display is used
