Maybe i'm being a bit pedantic here, but "silent" means no noise doesn't it ?
An alarm is not silent.
Suppose it depends on the interpretation of silent. If I was in a meeting, I would not want the alarm to sound if the phone is in "silent" mode.
Maybe needs a bit of clarification from SE ?

No he can't... The alarm dosn't work if the phone is switched off.
So maybe you are not the right person to call other people dumb!!!

Agreed that alarms are a problem with the P800.
General user expectations:
Silent mode -> Silent (vibrating) alarm.
Phone off, alarm set -> Alarm wakes phone, then wakes you.
Sony screwed up that second one. I suppose that the first is still workable, assuming that you sleep with the phone stuffed into your underwear.
Actually, that wouldn't be all that bad of a way to wake up...

Absolutely a problem. I have my P800 in silent mode most of the time and you can't even make the alarm vibrate the phone. It just displays a message on screen offereing "done", "snooze" or "silence" !!!
I hope they sort that one out pronto!

I remember that with the t68i you used to be able to play a ring tone and make the phone vibrate at the same time (dancing t68). Can the p800 play a sound file with the vibrate option enabled within the file ?

I thought that the ability to put the phone on silent and then set an alarm which would wake you up by playing LOUD was a great feature of the t68. Shame it's not in the p800. I't good to know who's been trying to phone you in the night and how many times they tried!!!

As an interim workaround, you could select a ringing tone that begins quite quietly and set your GSM divert on no answer down to 5 seconds.
In this way you get your log of all your night-time callers but nobody wakes you, until your alarm goes off. Don't forget to set the divert back to something longer (I use 15 secs) in the daytime.
I don't have my P800 yet so I haven't tried this.

alarm should definitely cause the phone to vibrate!
There's a difference between when the phone is turned off in the charger and turned off completely.
Is it possible that the alarm only works with the phone off and plugged in the charger?!
