I missed a meeting today because I had my P800 in silent mode and the alarm did nothing but display a confirmation message on screen.
There seems to be no setting to say vibrate alarm when in silent mode. The incoming SMS vibrates, a call vibrates, etc etc so why not the alarm?
Anyway, I then remembered that on my T68i I once had a ring tune that also vibrated the phone and wondered if someone had such a tune for the P800 (or even if its possible). I could then assign that tune to the alarm and hopefully (depending on how the sound is blocked) the tune will play, the sound will be blocked but thew virbrate will still occur.
thoughts?
So far in 2 weeks this is the first thing that has really got in my way with this phone. I am happ with most everything else, though the ability to play WMA would be good since I have all my cds coverted to that format. |

I think he means "predictive sms"/"T9". You know, txting for the lazy.  |

Alarms work on flight mode, but calls & messages wont get through, or If you write a ring tone for a t68 with one very high pitch note on a very low volume setting with vibe on, you could send it to p8 to use as an alert for an alarm.
Text input on T9......................................................... Multitap = up to four taps per letter (very slow)
T9 = one tap per letter + sometimes one to change the word if predicted word is wrong or a compound word is being writen. (fast)
P800 virtual qwerty keyboard = One tap per letter. (very fast)
Also changing case is quicker, changing to numbers input is faster & so is adding punctuation.
If desperate to write one handed if driving then multitap on the keypad is a fast version (speed between using the same button again) so it`s a well thought out phone.
As i`ve said many times on here, writing a sms on the p800 is QUICKER overall than a well experienced T9 user on a T9 phone.
