After all of this, all of my hourly appointments during the daylight savings period were showing the correct times. However, my daily appts were still a day earlier. Interestingly enough, recurring daily events like a birthday were correct, but events I had setup that were not recurring (such as memorial day, election day, etc) were still a day earlier. So on my phone I went into each of the daily events that was still incorrect and switched it to the correct date. Once this was complete, I synced to my PC and confirmed that everything was correct on both my PC and my phone. Since then I have added all day events and hourly appts during the DST period and they are entered and stay correct on both PC and phone. I read somewhere that someone had an issue where things seemed to work, but then the next day the appts were off again. At least for me, I crossed into the next day and everything is holding as needed.

Monster... Cool. Sounds very promising and worthy of giving a shot. Anything to solve this #$%! problem.
Did you go back after making all of these adjustment and turn back ON the option of having your phone's time sync with the network or have you left it OFF?
Know you said your appointments were holding correctly after crossing into the next day. Have you done a soft reset after crossing into the next day and still found everything to be OK?
Any idea what would happen with everything if you cross into another time zone (say going from the East Coast to West coast on a business trip)? The the last big question... will everything hold when the clock moves ahead one hour at 2:00am on 3/14/10?
Again, great job on coming-up with what is hopefully The Holy Grail in solving this problem.
Of course my biggest poser on this whole ordeal is why does it seem like this is a major problem for only a handful of us? I'd have to think this would be affecting the vast majority (if not all) of WM users who sync using Outlook. And make no mistake... it's a HUGE problem if you're showing-up an hour late (or early) for a critical meeting or interview.
