This made my day
A little while ago I wrote a Stopwatch application for Symbian phones. Plopped it up on Handango for a $1.99 and have been selling about 4 copies a week. I spent a lot of time getting the UI nice and clean for a good user experience. Someone posted this review of the application today.

One line summary: FINALLY - a great countdown timer/stop watch at a great price!
Description: I have been looking for a countdown timer/stopwatch app for quite some time now, and particularly a countdown timer, so that i dont burn my meals every night ;)
I found this on handango and for £1.40 you cannot complain. (PS - i got it even cheaper by searchin on the web for Handango discount codes - http://www.handango.com/buyersurveyMay2005
you get a 20% discount valid til end of June 05 - perfect for Handango big spenders!)
It is a brilliant little app - you have various modes from lap/split timing for the stop watch, a very nice countdown timer where you can set hours, minutes AND seconds - the alarm tone isnt too bad either! And a clock as well.
I have seen stopwatch/countdown timer apps go for four times the amount of this thing and more that dont look half as good - it has a very clean, professional look to it.
Great functionality AND it works perfectly on my Nokia 6680. My only other tip for the 6680 is this: if the automatic Nokia Suite installer does not work, place the stopwatch installer DIRECTLY onto your memory card and then install it from your phone.
If you need a stopwatch/timer, this app comes highly recommended and for the price, it firmly deserves its 5 stars. Does exactly what it says!
