Does anyone knows how to setup recurrent appointments in T68i? I was told that T68m was capable of this...

By the way, my T68i has the R2E006 firmware.

Thanks in advance!

Desktop > 7 > 3 > 2 then enter the time then use the asterisk to select the days you want the alarm to be set.

Sorry, it seems I didn't explained well. My question was about setting up recurrent appointments in the calendar (like birthdays, anniversaries, etc)... It's a bit frustating needing to manually delay an appointment for one year everytime a birthday comes.

The strange thing about it it's that older T68m's support this feature. Just use the T68m emulator on homepage and setup a new appointment: the last popup states you to select recurrency (every week, every year,...)

Please, could someone who owns a more recent firmware than mine (R2E006) confirm if this has been already fixed?

I forgot to comment that under the "Text labels" option of the hidden Service Menu you can still find these labels: "Every day", "Monthly", "Every 2 weeks", "Every week", "Every year", "Recurrent Appointment"...

seems to have just disabled this feature, but why?

Any comments appreciated!

Confirmed... It's not anymore in any recent firmware. I wonder why they had dropped such an useful function....

Thanks for your time, jcpsad

Well, there's no real need of this implemented on the phone...

You can do it perfectly well using Outlook for instance and then they are showed as separate appointments, that the way I did with my classes for the whole semester!

I think Ericsson drops functions like this to keep selling their PDA's.

The absence of address fields in the phonebook is another indication that it might be a strategic decision... The t68m is a bit too simple for it to really replace my Psion 3. With a better recurring appointment function and address fields in the phonebook who needs a PDA? Not me..

@ro.BIN
If it’s a strategic decision, they are totally wrong. As a result of such a decision, in my case, will make me buy as soon as I can the new Siemens S55 to replace my T68m, just to have the address fields and a better agenda…
