In Outlook on my computer, I created an appointment that included a notification 5 minutes prior to the appointment time. Then I synced three of my Pocket PCs. Here are the results:

IPAQ hx2415 (running windows mobile 2003se) Turned off all notifications; when the calendar item notification was triggered, the screen came on, but no tones were sounded

IPAQ hw6925 (running WM5.0) Turned off all notifications; when the calendar item notification was triggered, the screen came on. Then I looked over the settings in PhoneAlarm (a software I have installed to manage a lot of stuff on my phone), found that the notification settings there were set to display. When I turned those off, nothing happened with the notification was triggered - the pocket pc remained off.

IPAQ rx1955 (running WM5.0) Turned off all notifications; when the calendar item notification was triggered, the screen remained dark, the pocket pc remained off.

So it seems the only pocket pc I have that still continues to display notifications even after turning everything off is my hx2415. I'll have to play around with that one some more and see if I can figure anything out.
