Abstract
Improved techniques for controlling notification characteristics for wireless communication devices are disclosed. One aspect of the improved techniques pertains to timer-based notification control for wireless communication devices. Another aspect of the improved techniques pertains to calendar-based notification control for wireless communication devices. Still another aspect of the invention pertains to graphical user interfaces that can be utilized to set or monitor notification characteristics for wireless communication devices. The improved techniques are particularly suitable for use with wireless communication devices having constrained keypads and wireless browsers that display documents (e.g., such as markup language documents) or messages to users of the wireless communication devices.
