Hi!

Just a short tips:

• Write background application to make alarm and UI application to configure things

UPDATE
Just extand you application class from Application instead of UiApplication
See examples:
BlackBerry background applications on StackOverflow.com

Also, in Eclipse, in Project Properties->BlackBerry Project Properties->Application you can set process to be system module (hide app icon on device), as well to be start-up.

• Save configuration to Persistent Store
  Blackberry - application settings save/load

• Use different types of notification (from Dialog to Alarm)
