who's with me?? I am so close to throwing my phone away because you can't, for some very strange reason (evil stare at Ericsson), turn off the clock screen saver! WHAT?? I work in an office and so I have my phone on silent, I can never tell if I have a SMS message waiting for me, or a call, or even a missed call because of the screen saver. I find every 5 minutes I have to press 'No' to see if anything is waiting, which is both annoying and battery wasting. Even if the backlight isn't on, you can still see if something is waiting there for you, how could they make such a monumental f*** up? should we start a petition?

in fairness this posts reasoning is a monumental fuk up
the reason for the clock is ther for some excellent reasons - as annoying as it is - these are to save battery life, to save your screen from funnily enough 'screen burn', to save on the lcd pixels bruning out as opposed to bein permnanently enlightened with bright colours and of course it handily tells the time
give it up the clock stays fro good reasons
yes its annoying when ya got a real good screensaver n it only shows for 20secs or so but deal with it, its there for a reason !!
good luck in your petition though

BTW, If you got a message or if someone called you, the phone is not displaying the clock for a few minutes, but it will display the message received screen or missed call (without backlight on).
Cheers

Funny. I think the clock is quite cool and so have most of my mates when they've seen it first time.

I also like the clock and think its a good idea to save battery life and save the LCD from over use.

I do sure that this clock is maybe good for the battery, but no matter for LCD. Also, it should be my choice, to save the battery and see this clock or to see the information on the screen.
You can turn the lite always ON, but cannot turn off this clock, this is not a good style of life...

i think it comes in handy to have a big clock there - i can do without my watch!
it also helps battery life n burning out the pixels n stuff, so as they say:
"killing two birds with one stone!"

There is a solution:
If you need it at your desk, just have your charger attached to it. You could even get a nice desk stand at put it in there:
There is a little problem though, after a few hours, when it's done trickle charging, the clock will come back...
