Given that I was actively looking at the display, when I saw the alarm pop-up I instantly tapped on "close". The alarm UI closed, but then the ring started sounding, with no UI to turn it off. Given the "urgency" of the situation (other people were looking at me as if I was just trying to bother them , I resorted to turning off the N900 by holding the power button for a few seconds
Yeah, auto-snooze shows the alarm time, not the current time. I think it is better that way(stock behaves like that), though current time must be shown somewhere too.
