What are some good Hotspot finders for Nokia mobile phones?

I want a program that can maybe run in the background, finds all nearby wifi networks, identifys if they are secured or non-secured, and allows connection etc...

Recommendations?

What I have found so far...

WeFi
HandyWi
Pocket WiFi Radar

My results of finding quality aps have been pretty poor so far...trying all varietys of search strings in Google, and how good those the aps I have found are I don't know, yet to fully read-up on.

Psiloc have one that does what you want I think - try their website, the name of the app escapes me at the moment (Psiloc Connect? Symbian-Guru had an article on it a while back).

Barbelo is probably the best to locate hotspots and show details but doesn't actually connect.

I've used Psiloc Connect for a while, that just creates a virtual AP connection and then connects to any AP's that are registered in the phone and if none are nearby will use a mobile data connection. This means you can set a single AP connection in a program such as email and not have to bother manually selecting an AP depending on whether you want to use WiFi or 3G.
