What do you all do for an alarm  clock on Shabbos? Is there a way to set a bberry's alarm to go off after a few minutes?

I use the "Kosher alarm clock" sold in most Judaica stores. It lets you set 5 different alarms and it shuts off after about a minute, so i set for shachris, Mincha and for my wife etc... and sometimes 2 alarms 5 minutes apart as a "snooze"....
it also has a cover for all the buttons so there is no problem on shabbos of pressing the buttons by mistake.

I peronally use the palm centro as my alarm clock. I use the calendar feature on the phone. It let's u set as many alarms as u want. it let's u chose if u want it to repeat the alarms or not. u chose the ringer u want for the alarm.
it works great for me.
