I love freeware. One of my favorite things about Series 60 is the innovative freeware utilities that get written for the platform. Admittedly, it would have been better for Symbian to have included these functions in the first place. I suspect they don't include them in order to stimulate third-party program-writing and create a broad market in Series 60 software, helping attract people these phones over other full-featured phones not running an OS (as with Sony Ericsson's UI on the S700).

Igor has just released alarm manager, a program that allows eight recurring alarms to be set. No huge deal, but it rectifies the omission in the Series 60 "clock" program which doesn't allow you to set multiple alarms, or have them recur. Igor has created a nice program with a very simple interface that works well. (You still need to use the built in clock program to change your alarm tone, though).

I also like Mobipaq's stopwatch utility and Cell Track as well, both which add very valuable functions absent in the Series 60 interface. What can be better than something that is free and works?
