S60 Open to new features

An occupational hazard of working at Nokia for as long as I have is that I've collected a ton of phones. Not too long ago, I took advantage of our recycling program and recycled many of my older, non-prototype phones. This brought the number of phones down substantially, but I can't bear to part with some of my handsets. And I do loan/gift handsets from time to time as well.

Meanwhile, I needed a new clock for next to my bed. It seems my son needs a digital clock for his room. I took my old, Fairchild digital clock from the 1970s, and put it in his room. Meanwhile, I needed something.

After trying--and failing--to find something that was free and did what I needed on S60 3rd Edition, I pulled out an pre-S60 3rd Edition device--a Nokia 6260--and loaded Sevenball Big Clock on it. It shows the clock and will keep the backlight on full time. That's exactly what I need.

Incidently, the Nokia 6260 requires a SIM to operate. I have plenty of previously used SIMs that I keep around for these older handsets that won't operate without one. Sure, I can't make calls, but in this case, I don't care. I'm using it as a clock.

Now if only there was something like BigClock for S60 3rd Edition handsets. If you know of anything, leave a note in the comments.
