If you are absent-minded, you might have decided once that you will never forget to switch your mobile from the silent / vibrating mode to general / loud mode once you come out of a lecture or a seminar or a meeting. So you might intend to place a reminder on your phone for the same. Then you realise that your BlackBerry Curve 8520 doesn't have the facility for a reminder - you need to install an add-in for that. Crap. You then decide to set a simple alarm. The lecture finishes. The alarm rings. You can't remember what the alarm was for, until two hours later, when the number of missed calls suggests that it might be too late.
