For the last 9 weeks, I’ve been learning to apply routines in my life. One of the things that are absolutely necessary is a timer. I didn’t want to buy a timer when I was sure there would be a decent application for my phone. After all, I have the phone with me pretty much all day. Why spend extra money?

I was quickly dissapointed when I found out how few alarm and timers work well on my Windows Mobile phone. Many work but if the phone is turned off, they aren’t able to wake up the phone to trigger the alarm.

Finally I tried Spoon Alarm which did what I wanted and best of all the buttons are large enough that I don’t have to use the stylus. Only one alarm and one timer setting though but that is suffucient for my needs.
