Last year we showed you the first version of nUnlock, a popular “slide to unlock” application for the Nokia N97. Tap the menu key then slide your finger over the screen to unlock your device. You can also tap the screen to see the time, date, signal bars, and other notifications as shown in the screenshot. You can also customize the background to an image of your choice.
If you’ve already tried nUnlock in the past, here is what has been updated:
- hide everything in the homescreen except the slider — to get a clear background
- option to enable/disable the unlock beep sound
Developer description:
The coolest homescreen ever for your Nokia. See everything you need at first glance: easy-to-read time display, indicators of your phone status. Then, unlock your phone with one smooth slide. background image, font color… Completely configurable!
Settings:
choose background: choose an image file from your phone’s any directory as the application’s background.
slider sensitivity: how easy you can slide to “unlock” the phone.
font color: sixteen different colors to set the color of time,date and phone information.

nUnlock is a commercial application going for $4.99 or 3.49 euros. If you like the look of the screensaver and the idea of unlocking your N97 like the iPhone then it’s worth the price.
