So I've had a Treo 680 for a few weeks now, and I like nearly everything about it. But the one problem I'm having is with the alarm clock. My old cheapo moto flip phone would have the alarm go off loud and clear no matter what the sound setting was on my phone. But on the treo, I've forgotten on more than one occasion the phone was set to silent when I set the alarm and went to bed. This has caused me to be late to class several times now, and I really need a fix for this.

Is there any program out there that will fix this? Like an improved alarm clock (compared to the world clock that comes with the treo) that overrides the silent switch on the phone and makes the alarm go off anyways? Or a program that makes it blatantly obvious that the phone is in silent mode so that there is no possible way I can set the alarm and not notice the phone is set to silent? Or an improved alarm clock that pops up a reminder when I set the alarm that the phone is in silent mode?

Does a program like any of these exist? I thought I would just eventually grow used to making sure the phone wasn't in silent mode when I went to bed, but after several weeks I've given up hope and I need a fix for this. Thanks so much for any advice you can give!
