How can I change the default calendar alarm time from 15 minutes to none? I've been playing around and maybe I missed it somewhere?

I don't need/want an alarm for the majority of my calendar items, so I'd like the default for new items to be none. I could set the sound to a "silent" sound, but then I wouldn't hear it for the couple of events I do want alarms for.

It gets a little annoying to remember to change the alarm on each new event I setup.

Hopefully, I missed it somewhere?

I too am looking for this... so far I haven't found anything to do it. I just hope this isn't hardcoded :/

Well at least I'n not the only one. It ought to be a setting. I'm sure some people would rather have a different setting than the default 15 minutes.

just bumping to see if there's a solution to this

I had missed this thread and was about to post the same question, fortunately I remembered to do a "power search" first :-)

Count me in, this is very annoying. I thought there would be at least an easy "gconf" hack...

Mind you, the calendar on the E71 had the exact same shortcoming, so...

This is easy one.
Touch ur calendar.
Touch the event which u want to edit alarm.
From the event above click "edit event"-->scroll to Alarm, then set it None or 15'.

Yes, but I want the default to be "none" not 15. There is no way to set the default.

I have encountered the same problem. Just adding this reply to show more people think this is a problem with the N900

Same here... I thought this issue would have been addressed in PR1.2 & PR1.3. Now, I get to go back and manually delete ALL my calendar events and re-add them.... MANUALLY.
