Default looking for a reminders app

Does anyone know of an app that will allow me to set reminders? I need to be able to control the alert (vibrate only or sound) for each reminder. I also need the ability to set it to specific days of the week. The built in alarms won't work because I can't set it to just vibrate and still have an audible alarm to wake me up). Anyone know of a free or cheap app to do this? Thanks.

The built-in Tasks and Calendar apps will allow you to set reminders. Although, you can't choose which one gets sound or vibrate, but if vibrate only is what you want then they can do it (sounds/vibrate would be set in your Sound Profile settings). You could have sound for calendar reminders and vibrate for tasks though. I could see how that might get confusing, but Tasks can be set to be viewable in your calendar.

As for an app, I don't know of one because I use the Tasks app, but I use vibrate for everything...

Wunderlist for Blackberry was just released today actually. From what I've read its pretty popular on other platforms. I just installed it today and it seems pretty slick. You can set it up for email and push notifications and set how long before the task date you want to be reminded.
I've only been using it for a few hours but it looks pretty good to me and I'll probably end up keeping it.

Oh, and its free.

I use the built in one in the calender as well. I don't use Tasks, but the reminders on the native Calender app is good enough for me. Did you try it out there?

I use a app named Bug Me. It available thru app world. Its very easy and quick to use and allows me to setup custome ringtones for the reminders.

Thanks for your suggestions. For now I'm using the tasks app. I didn't realize that you could set up reoccurances when adding tasks through the calendar app. I checked out wunderlist, but it doesn't have any reoccurance settings. I'll also look into bugme at some point, but the calendar / tasks seems to be working fine for now.

You can control the task audible and vibration notifications in profile settings.
