A mobile electronic device that includes a controller including at least one processor, for controlling operation of the mobile device; a display coupled to the controller; a user input device coupled to the controller; and a storage coupled to the controller, the storage storing event reminder information identifying event reminders for different types of events, times at which the event reminders are scheduled to be released for display on the display. The controller is operative to: maintain a list of pending event reminders that have been released for display; display on the display a first event reminder window corresponding to one of the pending event reminders, the first event reminder window including a first user selectable option to dismiss the event reminder corresponding thereto, and a second user selectable option to dismiss a plurality of the pending event reminders that are for the same type of event as represented in the first event reminder window; upon detecting selection of the first user selectable option, remove the first event reminder window from the display and display on the display a further event reminder window corresponding to a further one of the pending event reminders; and upon detecting selection of the second user selectable option, remove the first event reminder window from the display and remove from the list of pending event reminders pending event reminders that are for the same type of event as represented in the first event reminder window.
