I have NO idea why, but as of a few minutes ago, my calendar is syncing correctly! Calendar items created on my BB are now syncing to Outlook 2003. Calendar options no show the correct number of entries instead of "0".

I have made NO updates. My desktop is as installed - 4.2.2.12 and my handheld is 4.2.2.66.

Was their an over the air update??

The ONE thing I did, which cant possibly have anything to do with it, was that I went into my handheld and changed my owners name. Went to sync to make sure it wouldnt cause a problem with BB Desktop Manager and suddenly everything synced. NO duplicates on Outlook or my BB.

Strange...

BTW - I got my 8830 4 days ago and had the same issues everyone was having on outlook - duplicate contacts, "0" entries, no updating from handheld created appointments to desktop.
