Alarm Annoyance on Windows Mobile

This morning I almost missed my train because my alarm didn’t wake me up. But why? I had the alarm set, and I didn’t have my Treo on silent, so why did I wake up just in time to throw on clothes and run out the door? For some reason Windows Mobile relates the alarm [...]
