As Steve Litchfield always likes to say “filed under articles I wanted to write,” he reviews Handy Weather for S60. One of my favorite S60 applications, I only discovered it at this years Mobile World Congress while sitting next to Jonathan Greene from atmaspheric|endevors and looking at that awesome screensaver pictured above.

One thing Steve forgot to mention in his review, and one reason why I love this application so much, is the fact that I can set the screensaver to lock my phone no matter what I’m doing. Without Handy Weather installed the only way my N82 locked its keypad was if I went to the standby screen, now it doesn’t matter what application I’m in, I can set my phone to lock automatically when the screensaver kicks in.

It makes paying for Handy KeyLock seem a bit … useless really, just spend the money on Handy Weather!

    Awesome app! Works great and in my opinion very useful. Only one thing I couldn’t figure out yet, is how to activate the automatic key lock when screensaver starts. Can anyone help me? Cheers

    HandyWeather is one of my all-time favs…thanks for reminding me to get a new one for my N82…

    That locking feature is also in Handy Clock, which I love way lot more than Handy Weather. Actually, I think Handy Clock is the best of the Handy Applications.
