It's quite obvious that the built in time screensaver on the Nokia N82 is small and pretty ridiculous to see. I can't see it unless I pick the phone up off my desk and look closer. There are two solutions that you can try and see which you like better. Both need to be signed yourself with Open Signed, see the solution I posted yesterday for signing applications on your N82.
The first application that I've been using for awhile now is called Large Time. It displays the time, date, missed calls, and message notifications. It doesn't use a backlight just like the built-in screensaver doesn't. Despite not having a backlight option, it's still easy to see and doesn't use any power.

The next application was brought to my attention by Vlad from S60 Info. This screensaver is called cClock and is very similar to Large Time Screensaver. Cclock does give you more options with the ability to have the battery power and a stopwatch on your screensaver, and much more.

Once you have either installed go to
Tools>Settings>General>Personalisation>Themes>Powersaver and select your screensaver there.
I hope you enjoy these applications, they are going to be your most used.

I just installed cClock and I have to say that I'm really impressed. I don't use it as a huge clock but I wanted to extend my standby-time so I only activated the (small) icons and used all the possible powersavings. The result:
- original screensaver: 0.08W
- cClock as screensaver: 0.06W
That's 25% more standbytime ;-). Thanks for the link!
Superb applications mike, thanks

wow didier great investigating. thanks for the tip.
Which is better for the LCD Screen/Power Saving?
"White on Black", or "Black on White"
i would say the white on black dan, but i can't be certain. i use the one with mostly dark in the background. if you keep it set at "always on top" and you push the first unlock button the backlight will come on with the time instead of showing part of the standby screen like before. i think thats great for checking the time in the dark without having to unlock.
Can't install. Error message: "Expired Certificate".
Please help...Thank you.

Yea the Always on Top function is nice, but the author notes that it uses more power.
