Screen shots
Example layout on a Tungsten T|X
Look at the comet at the right side of the clockface: It's the flash alarm. With just ONE tap on the clockface (3 o'clock position) an alarm was started and has still around 7 minutes to go.
BellTime as Treo / Centroclock
Here, the user configured the 5 available slots with a digital clock, a weekly alarm, a timer and a time zone clock.
Entering an alarm time
A keypad is always the easiest way to enter numbers. Use your Palm stylus, your fingers, the 5-Way navigator or the keyboard of your Centro.
A BellTime alarm is ringing
Here on top of an other application.
Each alarm can have a note (here ** BellTime **) and each alarm uses its own colors for the note.
* On the Palm Pre with Classic you should set Sound = Beeps for all alarm tools, and be aware that depending on your Classic version not all BellTime functions are available.
