Nokia N95 8GB missing 'Reminder' feature

[anotherN95user]

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 use the TO DO LIST...It has an alarm on.

i need reoccurring tasks.

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).

smart idea, and **** nokia for leaving such a little feature out that would of made our experience more usable :)

ill be on the lookout for some sort of free software or something that can handle this feature.
