Question Any alarms for Birthday/Event, ie reminders, alarms, notices?

I used to absolutely love this feature on my Treo755p (non windows)
When ever I entered a contact it had an option to enter the Birthday and offer to remind me within 7 days. 7 days prior it would set off an alarm and it would also show up in my calendar and would continue to remember this event for the following years. I figuered when in the contacts you enter the birthday it might have done that, but came to find out after I forgot my sister-in-laws birthday...that it doesn't
I haven't synched my phone to my PC since I don't want to purchase Outlook once my trail expires, I am assuming that's the only way? Not sure at all though. This is infact my first Windows based phone and so far we're on 1st base. LOL

Any suggestions? Thank you.
*First post btw *

Re: Any alarms for Birthday/Event, ie reminders, alarms, notices?

Unless I am not understanding you correctly, the Touch Pro has a calendar and you can set up appointments. You can set up each one to remind you when ever you want a reminder and you can set it to yearly so that it will always be there for you. I do this for birthdays and what ever else I need to remember. Works great.

Re: Any alarms for Birthday/Event, ie reminders, alarms, notices?

Thank you, yea I've seen that, but what I am referring to is the Treo's contacts program would automatically fill in the calendar and ask you if u needed a reminder. As opposed to entering them manually.

i don't think there's an automated function, but you can set the reminder to do whatever you want it to do from the default calender app.

Re: Any alarms for Birthday/Event, ie reminders, alarms, notices?

I just came from a Treo 755p as well, and am looking for this same exact feature. I have quite a few contacts with birthdays embedded, and have absolutely zero desire to go through and create a calendar event for each one.

Is there a way to get this done automatically?

The only way I've ever done it was to sync with outlook.

Re: Any alarms for Birthday/Event, ie reminders, alarms, notices?

I've never noticed it doing that on my phone. When I enter someone's birthday in contacts, it doesn't automatically create a calendar entry with a reminder for that date. Did I just miss a setting?
