1. A method in a mobile communication device of processing calendar information, the method comprising the acts of:

  • identifying, by the mobile communication device, whether a radio frequency (RF) out-of-coverage condition exists between the mobile communication device and a wireless communication network within a predetermined time period from a date and time of an appointment associated with a calendar application of the mobile communication device;

    in response to identifying the RF out-of-coverage condition within the predetermined time period from the date and time of the appointment, causing an RF out-of-coverage warning indication to be produced in association with the appointment at a user interface of the mobile communication device, the RF out-of-coverage warning indication indicating the existence of the RF out-of-coverage condition;

    otherwise, when the mobile communication device fails to identify the RF out-of-coverage condition within the predetermined time period from the date and time of the appointment, refraining from causing the RF out-of-coverage warning indication to be produced at the user interface; and

    at the date and time of the appointment;
