So can I input, like, 30 recurring "alarms" with texts like "Amy's birthday", "Weekly staff meeting", etc.? Also, can "alarms" be at a different time than the actual notification (e.g., I'd like to be reminded of the staff meeting 15 minutes before it starts)?

No, you can't do multiple alarms, only a single one. You can't set the alarm to go off at a different time than it is supposed to ring (that would defeat the purpose of an alarm). However, you can do that with Appointments in the Calendar. The problem with Appointments though is that it doesn't support recurring events. So basically, it's the chicken and the egg problem.

Yes and no. The recurring feature does not exist in the "Calendar" application but in the "Alarm" application. But then again, the Alarms do show up in Calendar, so I guess it's the same thing.
