The 5600 has a proper speaker so you can actually turn the sound of the alarm up a lot. The default calendar alarms should wake the 5600 from suspend for alarms although I have noticed on occasion that Qtopia gets a bit messed up and forgets to wake up the Zaurus. A reboot fixes this in the short term, but I found this only seemed to happen when I had the IR applet installed, which isn\'t compatible with the 5600 currently anyway. When I uninstalled that, the problem went away.
