Noisy alarms/reminders

Hi - very impressed with my Z8 so far, I'm getting on much better with UIQ than my previous experiences with Sony Ericsson phones. There is one slightly strange thing, though - I can't appear to change the volume of the agenda reminders!

I've synced my phone to my Outlook agenda and it doesn't matter whether I've set the profile to loud, quiet, silent or vibrate, the appointment reminders come out loud. Even if the phone is turned off, the reminder turns the phone on and screams out a loud tone! I've looked everywhere in the phone for an option to change this, but no luck so far - can anybody help?

Thanks

If you don't 'tick' the Alarm option when editing an entry, the phone won't sound anything. Using the plug in in the Home screen, will give a summary of the day ie. 2 Reminders and their time and if you passed the due time for the first one, only the second one would show in the plug in.

Well I've alos noticed the issue with the alarms. I've changed my alarm default sound to Click and Silent, but neither option seems to do anything as I still get the ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring annoyance of the Alarm sound.

Any fixes?
