Well, @qseh, I've simmered down because a) AquaCalendar seems to do the job b) the phone seems stable in other respects, even though not as richly featured as I would like.
But honestly, a business phone that does not offer a reliable PIM? And why has SE downgraded the features on the PIM applications? On the contrary, the PIM in a business phone should be even more richly featured, reliable and robust without needing third-party software. Even the P900 was richer.
And what is this I hear about backups not being reliable? I no longer maintain a paper diary, so my phone is the primary repository of all my scheduling and contact data. I move forward with trepidation if backups are not reliable. And not a little disappointment.

@ Anil
I can understand what you say about PIMs but I am so used to buying 3rd party PIM software whether I am using Palm or Pocket PC devices that I accept that no software will be perfect for everyone. The manufacturers are onto a no win situation on this front. It is ironic that the PIM software on my P1 is the first I have used which has not been replaced within the first week or two. And surely that is the point, what I look for in an application is probably very different from what you require. There is every chance that although you may find Aquacalendar superior, I may well prefer the standard P1 application. One of the reasons I like it is because of its simplicity. I realised after years of using Agendus on my Palm that you end up with too much of a good thing and that life without "features" such as icons, categories, attendees, etc is a good thing. Once again, it's just my opinion.
As for unreliable backups, I have never had a problem but this has never concerned me since all my data is reflected on my PC, notebook and Pocket PC. The only thing backups do is to restore the setup of my phone (emails, connectivity, etc) which, I agree, is not as comprehensive as it should be.

Right beside the smilie icon beneath the text field when writing a message. Isn't this what you mean?

Do you have the "Enable Smilies" option ticked under Messaging / More / Settings?
