BlackBerry - Calendar Reminder Snooze not friendly

Have been using the Blackberry Curve for sometime now and disappointed with the options to 'snooze' a reminder on the calendar appointment. The only two options provided by Blackberry (BB) are 'snooze 5 mins' or 'dismiss'. Before the BB I was using 'blackjack' from Samsung and with its MS OS it gave me the option to 'snooze' a reminder '5 mins before start'. With this option it is pain to 'snooze' the reminder every 5 mins.

With help from reading & researching....discoverered that we could extend the 'snooze' to more than default '5 minutes'. I increased the limit to 10 minutes and set the default alarm for '15 minutes' before a appointment....it is close but not the true impact.

How to change 'snooze 5 mins'
a) Click on the 'applications' (bear's claw) button beside the 'green' button on ur phone when in the 'calendar'.
b) This will open up the with various choices...look for 'option' choice
c) After choosing the 'option' choice, it will open another list of choices. Select the 'General Options'
d) In the "actions" section, change the value for 'snooze' to '10 mins'
e) Save your changes and your all set.

Again not a right solution....something is better than nothing..
