I'm shamelessly bumping this because it's annoying the heck out of me.

I disagree that this is an Omnia-only problem, since I thought all windows mobile devices rand the same, but I digress...

I found out that the numbers are the ages. Well, more specifically, they are the number of the occurrence of the event. For example, if I put the birthday into Outlook in 2006, it is showing the 2009 occurrence as (3). But, this applies to ALL recurring all-day events, not just birthdays.

I have hundreds of birthdays in my calendar; most are clients'. I do not want to have to manually change the begin date of all of them just to get this fixed. Also, there is no way I am going to my clients to ask them the YEAR of their birth. That's a good way to lose accounts.

Also, I will point out that in adding the birthyear to the appointments causes the calendar to create all the appointments in the past as well. Meaning that the memory usage would go up tremendously (because of the numbers of birthdays I have in here) just to fix an annoyance.

Is there a fix for this out there? I can't imagine this is the first anyone has heard of this being a problem.

It would be better if the date in the appointment screen didn't require a year. If you could just input the date and go forward from there it would do away with this.
