Okay. Now you've sparked my interest. Could someone with the new firmware (I won't be home for a couple more days) describe how the new alarm works? Does it work if the device is in standby, and in the case, or what? Thanks for the reply. If anybody's had a chance to look at Maemo 2.0 for devs, are there any refs to an alarm in the included docs? I really have to check this out when I'm at a place where I can get access to it. This could make the 770 a much better PDA. (It's already a great internet tablet.)
