I've searched on the topic and am either confused or in disbelief (likely both)
I travel all the time and rely heavily on BB Calendar (BES/Outlook). I'm still in total denial that I have a "world device" and have to manually update the timezone everytime I touch down. Add injury to insult, the calendar appointments don't update to the new timezone.
Someone please tell me that I'm doing something incorrectly.
I've seen suggestions to set the appointment in the calendar so that it alligns with the timezone for which I will be traveling. My issues here are that I'm not the one sending out the appointment notice (I just accept the meeting) and/or, it's possible that I'll set up an appointment without knowing that I'll be on the road and then end up traveling. E.g, its not feasible or very impractical to do this proactively.
This nonsense about not automatically updating timezones because it will mess up the calendar seems completely absurd. I had a Treo on Good MM for 3 years and the timezone would automatically update when touching down and the calendar would automatically adjust to reflect. Came to BB for rock solid OS--which I got, but doesn't help when the time's all screwed up.
Sorry to vent but as arguably the worlds number 1 business tool, I'm in utter disbelief that everyone traveling deals with this. Please tell me I'm just not getting something.
Thanks In Advance,
