Whats the best alternative to the default calender?

I hate it! :icon13: How can a smartphone have such a poor calender!

Many have said to like AquaCalendar: http://my-symbian.com/7650/applications/applications.php?fldAuto=1036&faq=2

I haven't tried it, because the phone calendar, PC Suite sync + Outlook combo while not perfect is good enough for most of my needs.

It'd also be interesting, if you could state more specifically what is in your opinion missing or poor in the built-in Calendar.

Thanks i am trialing it. Its very detailed, maybe overly so!

I can only seem to sync Outlook with adresses. Nothing else on my pc suite!

What i think is poor about the built in calender is that it doesnt even have a reminder option. I noticed anniversary seems to work well as a replacement. But i dont get it. Did they do this to piss people off?

The built-in Calendar does have an alarm/reminder function (when you create a new meeting on the phone, you can also define when the alarm/reminder notifies you).

Also, if you have default or specific reminders set in Outlook/Exchange, they do synchronize to the phone with PC Suite - at least for me they do 😉 .

Make sure you use the latest PC Suite from http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

Outlook Express is quite limited as far as calendar goes (as far as I've noticed, it doesn't have one). I use the "real" Outlook.
