As everyone knows, events/alarms in iCal are supposed to sync to iPhone. I've had a couple of Calendar alarms activate on my iPhone, so it seems to be working at least some of the time.

This morning, however, one of those alarm/reminder windows popped up on my PB, but the same alarm/reminder has yet to appear on my iPhone.

This particular alarm/reminder was a 90-day warning about an event later this year. Perhaps alarms/reminders in the Calendar app on iPhone only work for shorter-term alarms (?).

Anyone else seeing anything like this?

So far, all of my alarms have worked nicely.

Is the event listed on your iPhone?

Yes it is. The 90-day alarm, however, did not appear today on my iPhone like it did (properly) in iCal on my PB.

Was the phone docked?

No, it wasn't docked. It was just sitting on my desk all night.

The only thing I can think is that the alarm/reminder appeared in the early a.m. but then was dismissed before I actually saw it. I had assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that Calendar alarms would stay on-screen until manually dismissed. (The other times I've had a Calendar alarm go off, I've had the iPhone in my hand and quickly acknowledged/dismissed the reminder. But if a Calendar reminder appears and no one is there to see it, ... ??)
