    Google Calendar also works great for this. You can choose to receive and email, txt, or pop-up for any event. You can also set multiple reminders, so you can receive an email two days before and then a txt an hour before an appointment. I couldn't live without it!

    i would find the imprecise message e.g. "in about half an hour" etc. to be annoying. i need to plan my day. i need to know the times. i don't want to only remember about an appointment when i have to actually leave the office!

    I use Google Calendars for this too. I send myself text messages to remind me the day before appts. and about 1/2 hour before.

    why not just save it in your cell phone calender? it has options about notifying you an hour or 30 minutes before the appointment.

    I'm not as obsessive about my online calendars all the time as I wish I were — I would never forget about the occasional appointment or date I made on the fly. Even though I use calendars, sometimes you just need really straightforward reminders — which is what Deadline is great for.

    For instance, I have a doctor appointment on my calendar, but what I really need is an alert a half hour before I need to leave for that appointment. I just need to add a deadline from the home screen, set the time and date, and make sure I set when I want to be notified by email so that I can get to my appointment on time (I set it to go off a half hour before). No more sheepish calls about why I'm not where I was supposed to be!

    cool
