Tip: Windows Mobile -Trust Your Smartphone's Alarm

Don't rely on the hotel alarm clock to get you up in the morning. Set your trusty Windows Mobile alarm instead.

For devices without touch screens, such as the Samsung Blackjack, begin by pressing Start and scroll to Settings.

  • Press the Center Joystick to select Settings.

  • Scroll to Clock & Alarm and press the Center Joystick.

  • Under Alarm time, press the function key and enter the time you want the alarm to ring. (The function key has a half moon or dot on it.)

  • Scroll to Alarm and use the left and right joystick controls to toggle from Off to On.

  • Press the Done button to accept all your entries, and press the Home key to return to the Today screen.

    Also, just because you've entered an event in your calendar, it doesn't mean you'll actually remember to attend it.

    To help ensure you won't miss an important conference call (or Little League game), when entering a new appointment, scroll down to the Reminder field to set an alarm to remind you of the appointment.

    You can use the left and right joystick controls to choose how far in advance of the appointment you want the alarm to go off—anywhere from one minute before to one week ahead of time.
