a real problem
Yep, I have the same flaw on my 2215. It seems to be related to another flaw, which is visible when you turn the unit on: it shuts off after a split second, and you then have to turn it on a 2nd time for it to stay on. So, when an alarm goes off, it wakes the unit which then immediately shuts off, and the alarm isn't heard. Only when you turn on the unit a second time does the alarm sound.
I've had my unit less than a week, and have loaded only a few programs on it. It seems clear that Microsoft (or maybe HP) rushed too much to release Windows Mobile 2003, and the 2215. Many, many apps do not work properly with the new OS.
Alarms are a basic requirement of a PIM. My old Palm 1000, from 1996, had a more reliable alarm than this newest 2215. It's going back to the store tomorrow.
