I use it the way I use sticky notes. I enter in a quick reminder and the time for it to remind me and it does the rest. It's quick and simple. I use it as my alarm clock too! Alarm Master v1.01 is now out of beta and can be purchased at our <a href="http://software.smartphonethoughts.com/product.asp?id=11296">affiliate store</a>.

I like this app, but I don't see any reason for me to use it over the Alarm app that came pre-installed on my BlackJack.

My Voxtel doesn't have any alarm-management apps, so Alarm MAster is perfect for me :) Standard meeting reminders is not a solution of course.

Mike is it possible to "extract" and look at your built-in BlackJack app?

Nope, there is no stand alone version of the app that samsung included. sorry.

... Standard meeting reminders is not a solution of course....
Wondering why?

I use the standard task and appointment reminders all the time. It makes more sense to me to have the meeting reminder in the same calendar entry as the meeting and not have to go to a separate application to set the alarm. I use a task with a reminder as my alarm clock and that works well for me.

The problem is that standard Task application on my Voxtel W210 even doesnt allow to enter time, only header text :( Scott, do you create task on desctop and then synchronize it with your phone?

I think it is a question of taste, but I personaly would prefer to have an application where I can control all alarms in one place. Meetings are not good way to create reminders for "calling my mother" or "take medicine"-type of alarms :) There are small functional difference between AlarmMaster and system reminders, but I think they continue to develop the application and difference will grows :) But after all, it is a question of taste :)

OK, I see now. I have used Papyrus for so long that I forgot you cannot put reminder times in with the standard Tasks application.

True. I use tasks just like you are using Alarm Master. If I did not have Papyrus, I would be using an alarm program too. I used CityTime Alarms a while ago, but use tasks for everything now.
