Unless you're using BES (blackberry enterprise server), this is normal. BIS (blackberry internet services) only syncs email.
Only option for wireless sync while using BIS is to find a service that will host your calendar, notes, and address book in an environment is that "SyncML-friendly". There are a few, and you can find a client to download and install on your BB that would use your BB data connection to talk to the host via SyncML. You'd also need to install a client connection on your PC that will connect Outlook on your PC to the SyncML-friendly server / host.
A bit convoluted, but it should work. I haven't tried this yet, but probably will once I have some breathing room (maybe after New Year). In theory, this should let your phone carrier's BIS service handle email, and the SyncML host handle calendar, tasks and address book. You may need to keep Outlook running - not sure - the client may talk to it as a COM+ server - but that would still invoke it as a background task I believe. Not a big deal, but your PC would have to be on, with Internet access going for this to work.
I've be much happier if a new version of BIS supported this, and our carriers would maintain the calendar / tasks / address book on their sites, so we could have a single vendor solution. I'm not holding my breather, though, as this would require carriers to suddenly become responsible for hosting a load of personally identifiable info that becomes a burden and a risk.
