Currently a week or so in with my first iphone. I was on windows phone for the last several years. I am loving the transition and the platform so far, however I'm having an issue with the calendar and notifications.
For example, when a calendar reminder came up on WP, it wasn't going anywhere until you either hit snooze or dismiss. It stays right there and you can't even use your phone. With the iphone, if you touch away anywhere it disappears. And snooze doesn't work. I've yet to have a calendar reminder come back after I hit snooze. Is this a bug, or is it just the way it is?
Also, in windows phone, when you had items in your pull down notification thing, there was an icon at the top letting you know something was there. However in the iphone there's nothing like that. I could have a thousand things there and there's nothing telling me. Unless I have a setting turned off somewhere?
My questions are:
1) Is my calendar reminder box bugged or is it working as intended?
Go to Settings - Notifications and then select "Calendar". Make changes where you see fit.
2) Does anyone have a robust reminder system that they use? I depend on mine for both work and my own business, I need something that can alert me and not go away when 'snooz'ed.

3) Is there a way to know if there are items in the pull down thing, or should I just get in the habit of checking all the time to see?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
if you have "Alert" enabled in the notification settings then yes because they will not go away until you take some sort of action.
