it's a very useful feature that winmo never really quite mastered.

There were a couple of apps that claimed to do it but it was very hit and miss in my experience. Could never us a WinMo device as a reliable alarm clock.

Palms can do it, but they never really turn off, they only go into a standby mode - unless you pull the battery, which wasn't possible on all devices.

I'm thinking of doing this, but any word on battery drainage on startup?

(i know it's not as much as the N800, which took 15% of battery capacity to boot up...)

EDIT: never mind, did it myself with lshal | grep battery: it actually went up to 48% from 46% for me. i'm assuming that's not actually the case so it's pretty much negligible.

Do you mean it auto-shuts off after a while? That's good, you might not be there and there's little you can do while other people wish you had something terminal.
I mean like the duration of the alarm. It rings like twice, first time its not as loud, second time its louder. Like my actual alarm clock will continue to ring until i press snooze or sleep and than it will stop. Can the N900 do something similar?
