Windows Mobile smartphones (Standard Edition) can be actually powered down. However, Pocket PCs (Professional & Classic Editions) are not really off unless the battery is pulled out. So, if you have an anniversary event (birthday, wedding anniversary) set in contacts, it wakes up at midnight and sets of the audible alarm (if that is turned on which is usually the case). I’d like to know which braindead idiot at Microsoft decided this is a desirable behavior.

and there is another stupidity that other all day events result in a 0600 alert (like the holidays !!!!)
any clues as to how to turn all day event notifications off separately?
the beast (asus p750 in this case) came dangerously close to being hurled accross the room this AM.

Frank: Glad to be a source of amusement to an old friend like you 🙂
Ok, I am reading this at the office and my coworkers are looking at me strange because I just loudly laughed out loud. 🙂
Probably done by a Microsoftee that never goes to bed before midnight.
