Question:
Q. I just got myself a Nokia smartphone and I cannot seem to find a way of setting its alarm to wake me up just on workdays. So I end up having to set the alarm manually every night, which is a bit annoying and I also often forget. Am I missing something obvious, or are there any applications that I can install to do this job?Answer:
A. It's true that the Series 60 Calendar is still some way behind that of the UIQ and Series 80 applications in terms of advanced scheduling. Rather than search for a different program though, there's an easy workaround. Simply use Calendar and set up five alarms (i.e. one on Monday, one on Tuesday, etc.), at the right time, with each one set to 'Repeat' 'Weekly'. This arrangement is quick to set up and has the advantage that if your working days change, you simply move the repeating alarm from the old day of the week and onto the new one.
