The last two updates for the iPhone have completely ignored some of the annoying alarm clock bugs making your iPhones alarm clock a unreliable toy. It seems if you have the passcode lock on and you set your alarm, it has a 20% chance of not going off at the right time.

Even with the passcode lock turned off, there are several other bugs that prevent the alarm from going off such as if a calendar event alert goes off while asleep, if you receive a sms while asleep or if you receive a phone call within 15 mins of the set time.

The only current temporary fix would involve putting your phone in airplane mode before bed and to make sure you set your calendar alerts for the daytime only, but you shouldn’t have to do this…

I like TUAW a lot but come on, Macworld has been over for quite awhile, no need to still report on it. I’m not sure if they are still waiting on Steve Jobs “one more thing” or they might have fell in a deep sleep with Randy Newmans performance, but it’s over… been over… for weeks.

Prior to my iPhone, my previous phones all had bluetooth which would seamlessly sync my contacts with address book without ever thinking about it. As much as I love my iPhone, why would apple not support iSync with their own phones.. I understand not syncing music, photos and video via bluetooth (because it would take so long), but they should support contacts. Even some kind of .Mac Sync would be nice…
