Calendar
The Calendar app now has an Agenda view and a Meeting Mode feature. The Agenda view lets you see your appointments 
and tasks for the week. The Meeting Mode feature automatically changes the notification behavior of your 
BlackBerry 
device when the device detects that you have a meeting or an event scheduled in the Calendar app. For example, you can 
set Meeting Mode to automatically turn off all notifications or notify you for phone calls only when you are in a meeting. 
When the meeting ends, your notifications return to your normal settings.
Reminder notifications for events in the Calendar app have a fresh new look! From an event reminder, you can notify the  meeting organizer that you will be late, locate the meeting using 
BlackBerry Maps, set a custom snooze time instead of the 
default snooze time, or join a conference call. If you have multiple events in your Calendar that start at the same time, all of\
  the events display in one reminder notification.
The Calendar app is more closely integrated with the BlackBerry Remember app. You can create a task in the Calendar 
app, and view that task in both the Calendar app and the 
BlackBerry Remember app.
