Just got my P800 and am running into a timezone problem when synching my Outlook Calendar with the calendar in the p800. All my entries are in EST in Outlook, but get entered in the p800 as PST.

I've triple checked the system clock for EST settings, and made sure that Outlook was registering the entries as EST, but still no luck.

Any suggestions???

I have the same problem. I am in EU and get meeting notices from US with CDT. I set my computer to GMT + 2, which is CDT+7. The Outlook shows the meeting correctly, but the P800, after sync, it show the local time with wich the request was sent. The phone is also set up to the local time... [addsig]

I got a reply from SE. And here it goes:
1. Backup the phone
2. Master Reset ?!?!
3. Sync
4. Restore

Make sure you sync before restore. There is a system.ini file that has all the local information, and this is the only way to delete it and reconfigure. Man that's got to be real twisted mind to go thru a 1 hour process to set local time......And of course did not work [addsig]

Me again. I know.., but this issue bothers me, so I thought I can bring some joy around the world if we put this to bed.

I just removed the system.ini, sync-d up and VOILA, it works.
Of course immediately after I set my local time zone and system.ini was created again, but with good information. So it WORKS!!!!!
