Thumbs down Nokia N95 8GB missing 'Reminder' feature

Just found this forum, good to see dedicated support for this phone.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed or really cared...

BUT

The N95 is missing a Calendar Reminder feature that used to be present in my old phone.

I dont know why, but it just is.

You can test this by going into Calendar and doing a new entry, you will be presented with 4 options only. there used to be a 5th called Reminder.

The reason why im a bit pissed is because i used to use this quite a lot to remind myself of up and coming events or recoccuring tasks that i need to do, for example... id like to remind myself at the start of every month to pay a certain bill.

Before you go and say well this can be done with Meetings... i dont consider this a fix its just a workaround to an inconclusive set of features. For now ive had to go and do a new Meeting with reoccurance if i need to be reminded or something, because TODO does not have a reoccuring feature (which again i think is rather lame).

Anyway, the question i have is. Is this how nokia intended the phone to be ? is there an update (software, firmware) that resolves this little problem ?

If not then i guess ill have to look into using a third party program such as Handy Calendar for extra features.

I miss the Reminder feature too.

My workaround is a recurring Meeting at 23:59 (so it is displayed on the standby screen for the entire day).
