Do to-do's show notes now?

I'm fairly new to series 60 devices as an end-user, but am enjoying the feel of it and looking to replace my 6682 (and palm which I carry) with possibly an E61/E62. Unfortunately, there's 1 function that the 6682 doesn't handle, and I'm hoping the newer version 3 s60's do:

If I have a to-do list or calendar item with some note attached to it there's no way to view the note. This basically makes to-do's useless as I see the name of the to-do, but none of the details. Also kills the uses of some calendars I subscribe to in iCal, as the weather info and movie releases I get don't show the actual info or releases, because they're in the notes section.

Is this properly supported in S60 v3 (and for that matter, any S60 v2 users that can say if there's a way to view them there that I'm just not seeing?)

No, the built-in calendar / to-do application won't show you the notes. Third-party calendar applications such as Papyrus will however.

On the N73 you can see notes in the built in calendar on calendar items but not on todo items.

I think this is true from my brief play with an E61 too.

You do have to open the item though. It doesn't show in the day, week, or month view.
