I think this is just poor screenshot placement on his part. The only displayed information is the text you just typed in. There isn't a time/date below. There is no remind me. At least, that's how it works on my 3GS. Using reminders with no Siri has been driving me insane as well.

I don't know, I guess it depends what you use it for: I use it mostly as a todo and to jot things I'll have to do at some point, so the basic UI works really well. In fact, Siri frustrates the fuck out of me because it absolutely completely definitely wants a date or a place and I have not fond out how to tell it to add "butter" on a list of stuff to buy without it wanting me to say where or when I'm going to buy the damn dairy. edit: having written that, I think that's the split in Reminders and the reason why OP does not like it: Reminders is both a reminder and a todos app, the reminders part works like a secretary/assistant (hence Siri mandating a time or a geofence and not allowing for putting it into a specific list) and the todos works as a regular todo (hence manual creation of a task jumping immediately to creating a new one and multiple, easy-to-setup and easy-to-switch-between lists). The issue happens when trying to use reminders-Reminders manually (OP's issue) and todos-Reminders as a secretary (mine) In fact, this seems supported by geofencing handling: it only "knows" addresses from contacts, so the machine has to understand what you're referencing for a reminder (just as your secretary would need to I guess)

  When she asks "when" say "never" and it skips the date.

    Mmmm I thought I'd tried that, I'll check as soon as I've got something to note. Thanks. edit: and sure enough it worked, I guess I'm retarded.

    Or say "remember to" instead of "remind me to". (Double-replying to make sure you see this as well.)

True, hadn't verified that.
