No, when you click on visiting time zone it automatically changes all of the appointment times to what the equivalent would be at the destination based on the time zone I was in when I made the appointment. i.e. If I am in Pacific time (GMT-6) and I have a meeting on the east coast (GMT-3) at 9am. I create the appointment time in outlook for 9am, sync my phone. I then fly to the east coast and select visiting EST (GMT-3) then my phone changes all of the appointments times by + three hours so my actual appointment time of 9am now says 12pm.... Outlook is trying to be smart and say that I was meaning that my appointment was at 9am PST which would equate to 12pm EST... NO, who in their right mind sets appointments that way? Outlook 2007 is a little better by allowing you to select the time zone the appointment is for which is fine if it is a phone appointment but for those that travel it is not as convenient to have to figure out the time zone your destination is for each and every appointment place. Not convenient at all if say you were flying to Africa and had multiple stops you had imported your itinerary into outlook for.
