time slot after I sync
If you create an appointment in the wrong
time zone (i.e., your desktop was set to the
wrong time zone), it shows up in the wrong
time zone on your smartphone. To be safe,
enable local network time and avoid
assigning time zones to your
appointments.
If you’re using Microsoft Outlook :
1 Make sure that you installed the
Microsoft Outlook conduit that came
with your smartphone. If you’re not sure
whether this software is installed,
reinstall Palm Desktop software from
the Palm Software Installation CD that
came with your smartphone.
2 Open Microsoft Outlook and correct the
wrong entries.

Calendar info you added to your
