Video: Nokia Sleeping Screen from Nokia Beta Labs/Nokia Research Center #N8 #C6-01 #E7 #C7

One of the really nice features in Symbian^3 is the AMOLED screen can always show the time even when the screen is locked (or you can have some other screensaver).

I find this incredibly useful – when checking the time, I can just glance without unlocking. It will also show any notifications, like missed call or new messages. At night or first thing in the morning, there’s no struggle to find my phone as there’s light shining just where the numbers are showing. Being AMOLED this doesn’t eat up too much battery (though you can completely disable v. quickly by putting in power saving mode). I really miss this and find the plain black screen annoying on my Omnia7.

Nokia Beta Labs are taking this always on screen a little further with “Nokia Sleeping Screen”. Check out the whole family of Symbian^3 devices with it.
