So there's no 3rd party application that is specifically designed for birthday reminders?

I use to have all my birthday reminders set in my yahoo calendar. It was a simple sync and now they are also all in my Curve as well.

I am using Date-reminder. It's a very handy program, and I like it.

Yes sir, you should be able to.

If you edit your contacts, you should be able to input a DOB and anniversary near the bottom.

Re: How to set birthday reminders?

That's what I thought. So if a person just waited till they got 4.3 they wouldn't have to buy anything. Just use your calendar till then. That's what I do. It goes off to remind me when I get up.

If you use Outlook Gmail or MSN(also others), sign up for Plaxo. It combines all your address books. Anyways...plaxo will send you reminders about birthdays 3 days prior. As long as you have them in Outlook or whatever.

If u use your calendar for work as well (Outlook) it hides the details of the calendar item... (i.e., Dentist, hot date with Lola.....) and just shows the appt and time as Busy
