Finally managed to get my hands on a N97 and I couldn’t resist comparing it to the 5800XM. These are my opinions and others may have different opinions from mine. I didn’t have the N97 for a long time, so I wasn’t able to extensively test it, so plz take this into considerations when reading my comparison.

The popular countdown application for Nokia N97 and Nokia 5800 (S60v5) got updated to version 2 today. Dont forget to donate when you download this freeware app.

Changelog:

• Total rewrite of timer code. Now it works in background, sort of. You see, flash applications dont’t work on bakckround or when phone is locked and there’s nothing I can do with that. But now when Time Machine is brought to foreground or phone is unlocked it finds out the right time and jumps straight to there. This works well when counting up but when counting down it can pass the zero without alarming.
• Clock mode. Just normal 24h clock.
• New ultramodern user interface with five different stylish colors. You can change between interfaces by cliking the blinking ligth when it’s not blinking.
• Option to choose clicking sound and/or vibration (or nothing) when pressing buttons.
• Finally managed to fix the sound volume problem, now you can blow you ears out.
