Late for work - blame it on Nokia

On Friday morning at 8:24 I discovered an interesting feature about Nokia Ovi Suite. The backup functionality does not back up the alarm clock settings.

I had the previous evening made an software update to my E51 and since I followed the instructions presented by the update wizard and the backup/update/restore procedure completed without errors I assumed everything went fine. After the update I did, however, notice that my phone language and profile settings were restored to factory defaults but since my contacts, e-mail and calendar data was intact it didn't bother me that much.

Dear Nokia, if it is too difficult to back up the alarm clock settings, then please at least inform the user, if he has alarms set, that they will be lost during the upgrade process.
