This has been a gripe of mine since day 1. I was skimming pocketpcthoughts, came across an old thread with folks complaining about the same problems. With no solutions on the thread at pocketpcthoughts, I figured I would post here. To save time, I copied the text from another user which sums up my problems 100%. Any solutions???:

"OK, how many people are like me and are frustrated with the PocketPC's defaults for Snooze options? (5 minutes, 10, 15, 30, 1 hour, 2 hours, 8 hours, 1 day, and 1 week) It's INCREDIBLY annoying to want to snooze an alarm for 12 hours and not be able to do it. For example, it's 7:20pm eastern time right now. I want to snooze an alarm that just went off until 7:20 TOMORROW morning. Apparently, the only way to do this is to have the $&%#* alarm go off in 2 hours, then again in 2 more, and then snooze it for an additional 8. Another situation that's annoying: A work alarm I have snoozed goes off at 9am on Friday. I want it to go off at 9am on Monday. With the PPC, apparently it's "no can do." My only option is to snooze for 1 day at a time and have it go off twice more over the weekend. What a pain in the arse!

Does anyone know how to do this? I'm thinking it's got to be a relatively easy thing to manage, either through an add-on like PI or AF, or via the registry. Outlook for the desktop is so nice because you can snooze for additional times of 4 hours, 12 hours, 2 days, 3 days, etc.

Does anyone have a workaround, fix, or suggestion for this? Is there a program out there that does this? If not, would one of you able-bodied programmers please write a fix for this??? I think it's a huge failing of the PPC. Anyone else agree? (Or disagree?)
