DLC - glad to see you got things working. Please post the results if you go back to the setting to sync time with the network. My feeling is that it should be fine, but i haven't felt like risking it.
Man, i will be really upset if everything gets messed up again on 3/14...lol.

unitmonster & everyone else working thru this problem...
Do NOT -- I repeat do NOT -- re-enable the Time Sync w/ Network option!!!!!!!
After playing with this thing, here's what I found works (and doesn't work
)...
First-off, I installed the Daylight Savings Time patch on BOTH the PC (the one for Outlook 2003 which is the version of Outlook I'm using) and the phone (see post #1 in this thread). Then went into the Phone Settings menu and DISABLED the Time Sync w/ Network option. Changed my timezone from US Eastern (GMT-5) to GMT. Soft reset... phone booted to GMT (good
) Back into settings and reset my timezone for US Eastern (GMT-5). Soft reset... phone booted to US Eastern (GMT-5). At that point, went into Pocket Informant and checked my appointments and everything was fine -- including appointments in the DST period (March 14th - November 7th)... start/end times for hourly appointments right where they should be... all day appointments on their correct day (not one day earlier as was the case previously).
Everything held once the clock flipped to the next day, held after soft resets and held after re-syncing with Outlook 2003 via ActiveSync.
Was feeling supremely confident this evening after seemingly grabbing this tiger by its tail the past day or so... so went back in and re-enabled the Time Sync w/ Network option on my TP2. BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!! Just like that, ALL of my hourly apppointments during the DST period went back one hour earlier; all of my all-day events went back one day earlier.... the tiger had turned-around and bit me!
Time Sync w/ Network is the debil!!!!!!! (At least it is for this Sprint user... don't know about Verizon, AT&T, et. al.)
After a "wash, rinse, repeat" of the original steps outlined above (unitmonster gets full credit for those from his earlier post), I'm back in business and everything is fine.
Remember folks... do NOT re-enable the Time Sync w/ network option!
Now of course, the next big hurdle is to see what happens to all of us at 2:00am on March 14th? Do our calendar appointments stay right where they should be or is it "The End of The World As We Know It"? (my apologies to R.E.M.
)
