I also noticed that the App Store upgrade screen for PI 1.52 had some instructions about getting alarms working after upgrading. Unfortunately, you can't get back to that screen after updating, and I don't remember all of the exact steps. I also looked at their site and did not see anything. I did find this in the 1.52 release notes:

Bug(62463): Improvements to Local Alarm generation on iOS 4 to hopefully tune better for iOS 4 alarm limits

From what I can recall, you go to Settings-Advanced-Erase Local Data-Reset Push Alarms and do a reset. This should re-create the alarms for you. I just don't remember if there were other recommended steps. Also, be sure you do a sync and a PI Backup before you try this, just to be on the safe side. Have you already tried this? If not, maybe this will help? I hope so. If not, have you ever gotten on the forums over at WebIs.net? Alex and Chris are pretty good about responding to requests. If my suggestion doesn't fix your problem, try asking over there.

I know that Outlook Sync is technically still in beta, so I am not surprised to hear that it is a bit flaky. At least when 1.6 comes out, you will have the option to use the Native Calendar database. You will lose wireless sync, but if it is more stable, maybe it will be worth the trade off.

Let me know how things turn out.

I have been unable to use the Local Alarms feature successfully. Maybe, I'm doing something wrong. Also, the Desktop Outlook Sync feature, is to say the least, buggy. Hopefully, that will be moot with version 1.6.
Anyway, I'd appreciate it, if you have suggestions for setting up the Local Alarms feature.
