He has a point. If i have a calender appointment set, my old samsung impression would start quiet, then get louder and vibrating for a full minute. It wasnt just a little beep. Ijust got a atrix last night, so I dont know what im doing, but some of the obvious things that I use the most do not seem well thought out. Im sure I can figure it out if I can find time to master the droid platform, but the alert tone for calenders is the one thing that my ols stupid samsung did better. Im not dogging the entire droid world, and I still hope this phone will be a keeper.
