I never had that problem on a 48-series unit. This isn't a huge issue for me these days, but I recognize that it may be for others.

That's about my only bugbear with the 50g. Alarms are fine as long as the unit is switched on when they become due. They just won't wake it up and if any did become due while the unit was switched off, they show as past due when you switch it on. It's a screw-up in the emulation layer (the 50g is basically running on a Saturn chip emulated by an ARM-based machine) and it won't get fixed now that the 50g is deprecated.
