I have recently switched from a blackberry to a verizon iphone. I was wondering if there is any way to get more options in the Calendar alert section, as far as more time options. On the blackberry you could choose a lot of different times. Such as 4 or 6 or even twelve hours before the event. Iphone only gives you one or two hour option beyond 30 minutes. Thank you for your help ahead of time. Much appreciated!!

You'll probably want a 3rd party calendar app. Just do a search on "calendar" - there's been a lot of discussion on this lately.

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded a couple of third party calendar apps yesterday and both used the default selections from the native calendar app.
I guess I will just use my alert times in outlook and then sync with phone. When I do that it accepts the time from outlook, which gives more options.
