Joe, With alarms disabled on an event the calendar entry still shows an "alarm bell" icon next to the event in the calendar on the phone. This can be removed by setting the ringtone to "No Ring", I think this is a phone bug (it should only show the icon if the alarm is really enabled). I don't think it makes any different to whether the alarm sounds or not, but it is confusing to users, do you think it is worth adding a hack to set the ringtone to "No Ring" when the alarm is disbabled? The downside to this is that if the user imports the calendar back to bitpim it will have a "no ring" ringtone and enabling an alarm will required the user to know that they have to change the ringtone as well. The option here would be to change the ringtone from No ring to something else if the alarm was enabled. What do you think, I have half a mind to put a note in the help and leave it like that, but the fix is not too hard to do and will help users slightly, also if a fix is the best option should we override the user when they choose options that don't make sense.
