Nokia 3650 Outlook Calendar Synchronization Changes The Time Of Some Appointments

I have a Nokia 3650, which I use to synchronize with Outlook Calendar.
It's very useful feature, except that for some meetings, the 3650 has
a tendency to shift the meeting time down by a few hours (sometimes
even into the night - like at 4:00AM!). This is really strange,
considering that most of the other appointments are showing at the
correct time. Anyone experienced this kind of problems with this
phone, and has clues on how to resolve it? Thanks

Just guessing: Are your computer and phone on the same timezone? And
do they use the same regional settings? (Formatting of dates and
times)

Then I would try it ona different computer with a different Outlook
installation. Are you using Outlook 2000/XP/2003 ?

Thanks for the respone. This is a good suggestion. I am using
Outlook XP. I couldn't figure how to set/change the timezone on my
Nokia 3650... How do I change that setting on the phone? Thanks.

Umm.. in hindsight, I'm not sure there are any.. ;-) Well there are if
you use software like World Clock or World Mate or whatever. Those
mess with your clock/timezone settings. I guess I must have seen the
timezone setting in one of these programs. I did find a setting for 12
hour or 24 hour notation in the Date & Time settings, but not
timezone.

I think I have a new clue about what might be happening.
Apparently if somebody sends me an Outlook Calendar invite from a
different time zone, it will show up in my Outlook Calendar at the
correct time, but in the Nokia 3650 the time will be offset by a
number of hours. Does anyone have experienced this before? Thanks
