trig42: How hard is it to make an alarm go off???!?
I would have thought it was pretty simple, when time x = preset alarm time y then sound alarm. Have Apple overcomplicated something??

Shadowfoot: Apparently it is some issue with the 2 days being in the last week of 2010. The first week of 2011 start on Monday.
Odd they would program non-recurring alarms to check that, but maybe the daylight saving fix used a common routine. Many pages of replies on the apple forum, so hopefully there will be a fix for 1/1/2012.

freitasm: Funniest thing is that when I posted on my Twitter about this problem yesterday the lot of Apple fanboys who wouldn't stop saying "I don't have a problem because it's a holiday"...
Sure, it's a good smartphone experience. But DST failed to happen, with alarms triggered in wrong time. Then alarms don't go off at all. Add the problems with dates on calendar and you have to think about how a company can charge in the thousands for a phone that has so many little problems.
Individually each problem may not be a big deal, but together it would kill any other product...

While I don't for a minute think it is totally OK for such bugs to arise, you have to take the good with the bad and make a device/OS choice that satisfies your individual needs best overall.
Much like how Microsoft (who I would of thought would make damn sure they got Exchange right) haven't satisfied you enough to get you to move from WinMo6.5. Or Android where users might have to wait many months for an OS update that might never come at all. Or my last Symbian the Nokia E72, the supposedly flagship business device that was so laggy and buggy for many months through multiple updates that didn't achieve much if anything.
The list goes on, where one manufacturer falls down they get everything or at least most other stuff right.

freitasm: I don't disagree - there's no perfect smartphone, as there's no perfect OS. It's just that for some people, pointing out their smartphone or OS is buggy is almost a sin.
There's also that part of the psychology of buying something expensive and then trying to justify any small glitches.
