Countdown timer and stopwatch for Nokia E52

Holamigos,

I'm looking for a simple countdown timer and stopwatch application for the Nokia E52. I've searched quite a bit and I can't find anything that's free (ideally as in freedom, but I'd settle for beer).

I checked the software section here, found nothing free. A bit of scroogling and I found Buzzer and Pocket Counter (site appears to be down). Buzzer looks ok, but it's only a timer, not a stopwatch.

These features are included in a $5 digital watch and were included in older Nokia phones. I'm struggling to understand why they're not on my brand new $300 phone! I read somewhere that there are lots of great, free timer apps around, but I'm struggling to find any.

Can you recommend any applications?

Handy Clock appears to cost $15 and is not available for the E52. $15 for a stopwatch? I could probably buy 5 digital watches for $15 here in Costa Rica! I'm considering spending a few dollars, but even then, I'm loathed to get into the whole world of "paid for" software for something as simple and basic as a stopwatch or a timer.

jApi NL, thanks for the recommendation, that application seems to work fine for simple timing requirements. It has both a stopwatch and a countdown timer, which is great. I also found a nice stopwatch while searching for chronometer, but it doesn't have the countdown function. Ok, I can finally time eggs on my phone... 😊
