Yes it does... no need to buy another app for multiple alarms... your Tour comes with the ability to do multiple alarms, but is just a bit tricky...

To set up multiple alarms:
1- Go to the calendar app
2- Press the menu key
3- Select New Alarm
4- Give it a title, date and time for the first occurrence
5 -Select the Recurrence (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly) and the details of the recurrence if applicable
6- Select an end date if you want such alarm to last only for a specific period of time.

This is great for those people that work for example from Tuesday to Saturday because you can set up a weekly alarm to sound different days of the week. With the standard alarm in the clock, you only get the option to select daily or weekdays and that's it...

Hope this helps!

This is a good tip Ryu.  I found this out only after running through all the menus when I first bought the phone because I had read many posts online about how the Tour only had the one alarm.  My one issue that I have no been able to resolve yet is how to alter the alert sound when those specific alarms go off.  None of the alert sound changes I have made have had any effect on that specific alarm.  I have even tried setting my calendar AND event default sounds to the same tone without success. If there is another menu to alter these alert sounds that I haven't found (picture attached below), please educate me.  Cool

Tour - go into clock, hit the menu button, then scroll down to options.  From there you can change your Alarm settings including Alarm Tune, Snooze Time, Volume, and Vibration.  Hope this helps

That did indeed help. I figured I just had to find the right screen to enter the menu options to find what I needed but didn't think to try it from that one since I set all of my alarms through the calendar interface. Thank you very much.  Cookie for you sir.
