turns out there's a few extra things in the alarm clock that would've been nice to know, especially coming from WinMo
type these codes into the clock's preferences screen and hit enter
"sixtyten" allows the user to set the alarm in one minute intervals instead of five minutes.
"4231" apparently removes the dashboard notification when you set an alarm.

apparently palm things its a great idea and a helluva lot of fun to hide basic functionality
