Yes, I agree on this topic. While all the old phones I had were 100%
reliable as an alarm clock, I cannot completely trust any Ubuntu,
Android or iOS device to get the job done...

Here's some bugs I reported related to this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1420169
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1317860

While the reliability of Nokia phones probably could only be achieved by
adding a micro-system, just bootet in case the alarm should ring in a
low battery condition, fixes for the above two would probably get us
very close to a good solution I'd say.
