From the past 3 years, my phone has been my faithful alarm. The new iPhone though is a bit pesky. Phones with "real" keypads snooze when you press any key (you can do that when your hand reaches the phone, mind it, just reaching is enough). The problem with iPhone is that you cannot touch a key (or anything touchable on the screen for that matter) until you slide the unlock button, that too on the touchscreen itself. So, if I am deep asleep, and the alarm is a bit buggy, I have to come to senses to slide unlock the phone, and then hit the snooze button.
I wish Apple realizes soon that some apps should have an emergency touchscreen mode.

Hi Gurshi,
I think you will get accustomed to that. I have a dinosaur Palm Treo and it fails to wake me (well actually keep me awake) in the morning. I have to key in an alphanumeric passcode to unlock the thing and then touch the Clear or Snooze icon to turn it off. I think I have grown so adept at it that I can do that with my eyes closed and still keep on sleeping!
