Facelock app hits the Ovi Store, Symbian handsets frame your face for security

Unlocking your phone doesn’t get any easier than an easy patterned swipe or pre-set pin. But for the fussy amongst you, there’s another way to make you are feeling both confidently futuristic, and downright ridiculous. Facelock, the facial recognition security app announced back at Nokia World 2010 , has finally mosied on over to the Ovi Store, beta tag in tow. The screen lock tech functions basically as you’d expect: once you’ve set a static image of your face as a code, front-facing camera will then match it as much as your mug and, presto magico, you might have access for your device. The free app is seemingly compatible only with Symbian 3 handsets, although those rocking Anna and Belle shouldn’t encounter any difficulties. Able to face / off along with your phone?
