I think there is already a gpe calandar app for the 770 that can be loaded.

But , the alarm issue is more complicated. Palm devices have a small advantage here in that wake-up events can be scheduled, so you can turn the device off and the alarm will still function. AFAIK, the 770 lacks this feature so it would have to remain on, at least in standby mode. I strongly suspect that nokia views the 770 as a complement to a cell phone and that your phone, e.g. a N80 or other series 60 phone, will handle the pim functions.

Of course, I could be completely wrong about all of this as I haven't studied the developer docs yet. I'd be happy to be wrong.
