I still have an atomic radio frquency alarm clock radio with battery backup. I shut off my cell phone at night because of wrong number calls in the middle of the night.

I still like having an alarm clock to be able to see what time it is in the dark.

I'm sure there's an app for that, but my non-iphone can't compete with my smart alarm clock that only wakes me up on weekdays. Plus, I enjoy waking up to radio much more than the Verizon tone.

I have my cell programmed for different days with multiple times (for those hang-over days).
Of course my kids are the ultimate alarm clock. Their internal clock doesn't require batteries.

I still use my classic radio alarm, on a battery backup.

Like mactruck said, I too enjoy radio much more than my celphone tone.

And my KATANA isn't loud enough to wake me up.

iPhone is my alarm but I also have a nifty little clock that was given as a gift that displays the time on the ceiling in the morning. With the iPhone I can set each day to wake me up at a separate time and not have to worry about the alarm going off on the weekend. Also, the alarm will still sound with the phone on silence so I don't have to worry about texts in the middle of the night or random phone calls. Oh yeah and the phone has a battery so a power outage doesn't have any effect on me.

I'm sure you can get all that functionality in a fancy alarm clock but really, why bother?

i set up my blackberry to go off at 11:00 pm for unwanted calls, and to back on a 5:45 am

and then alarm at 6:30

I use an alarm clock plugged into a wall. I don't always remember to charge my phone, but that clock gets me up every day.

My dad thinks it's bad fashion to wear a suit without a wrist watch, but I just use my cell phone as a time keeper when I go to work everyday.

Even at a black tie function I went to recently I still didn't wear a watch.

Its funny, I do a lot of traveling for work and most of the times in the hotel rooms, the small table next to the bed has a lamp and the alarm clock using the closest power outlet to the bed and the first thing I discconet is the lamp so I can have the phone chrging next to the bed, but still use the alarm clock to see the time at night.

I know i stopped using Alarm Clocks about a year ago. Got tired them either not going off or sleeping through them. Cell Phone I can setup 3 alarms all with different sounds. That way if one doesn't wake me...the others will.

I prefer my clock with built in wall projector.

Actually Tom's, I have an alarm clock that I use and a watch that I wear on my wrist. While my cell phone could replace the function of both of these devices, I like the watch because it looks good for one, and to check the time all I have to do is move my wrist instead of grabbing my cell phone out of my pocket. My alarm clock is also an iPod dock, my roommate has one two (just different model) and we both use it to wake us up in the mornings.

I find it weird, but I am one of the few that actually completely turn off their phone at night, plug it into my charger and pick it up and turn it on when I go out the door. I wish my phone had the auto turn off and turn on that 'aracheb' has.

Yep, alarm clocks and watches are both obsolete and unnecessary to most people since the event of cell phones. When I see someone who still wears a watch they don't look fashionable to me, they look OLD fashioned.

I use my iPhone as it's very convenient, but I still have it sitting in a Sony dock which doubles as a alarm clock / speaker. This way, I use the phone's scheduling, see time at night and have a more pleasant wake-up sound.

I use both. I'm hard to wake up in the morning. I wear a wrist watch too. It's much faster than digging in my pocket for a phone to see the time, especially when I'm sitting down.

I actually stuck knife in the top of an alarm clock I couldn't get to go off one morning. It went off.

I have to use both. I have a hard time waking up in the morning, so I keep my phone by my bed as the "first stage" alarm. Sometimes I sleep through it, sometimes I wake up, turn it off, and fall back asleep!

This is where an old fashioned alarm clock comes in handy for me. As my "second stage" alarm, I found a really old fashiond wind up clock. You know, the one with a big hand and a little hand and two bells on top with a hammer that strikes them both. I swear it's the most obnoxious, annoying thing. Well, I put that one in my living room and set it 10 minutes after my "first stage" alarm. It's so loud and annoying that i HAVE to get up and turn it off! And once I'm up, I'm up!

I use a "now and zen" clock -- it uses a real chime. It has improved my quality of life so much that I can't even describe it. Gentle wakeup with a natural sound...they are expensive (~$100) and unreliable (I replace mine every 2-3 of years) and have poor ergonomics (awful buttons make it easy to mis-set and have poor screen feedback.) But I still keep buying it...

I use my phone, but one time I forgot to charge it (a little tipsy) and it ran out of juice overnight and didnt go off = late to work next day.

I still use an alarm clock.

I actually like hearing the radio in the morning, and my teeny tinny sounding cellphone speakers could never do justice to even radio quality sounds -- and thats assuming I could get a cellphone that would receive LOCAL radio stations.

Personally I hate cellphones, so I stick with my alarm clock

If the alarms on cell phones were as straight forward as an alarm clock I'd probably get rid of my alarm clock. But the functionality is never consistant from one from to the next. I have a hard time waking up and the snooze function is an absolute necessarity. Any alarm clock that makes me press menu > snooze > 5 minutes > ok... is going to get ignored.

The alarm function on my phone is not reliable. Sometimes it goes off at the right time, other times it goes off hours earlier than it should. As such, I stick to the digital alarm clock that I've used for the past ten years.

p.s. My phone doesn't have Internet capability, a planner, or a camera either

i use my cell with the FM radio to wake me up,
if i put a normal music to wake me up everyday i just start hating that music thats why i use radio so i cant hate all musics

I prefer alarm clocks, but they usually don't wake me up . The alarm on my phone is rather useless as a wake up alarm since even though it does go off, I never wake up to it.

radio with wake up timer.

Been using SONY phones for an Alarm clock for 5+ years. Allows me to put it anywhere. Current phone are more advanced of course - with 5 presets, I have settings for everyday and I save 2 to use every day. Different tones and messages.

I use a CLOCKs (VCR, etc) just to tell time.

I have an alarm clock the slowly turns on the light and gets brighter as it gets closer for my time to wake up. Lets see a cell phone do that!!
