Love the new iphone. Last reamaining issue is it won't sync with my outlook calendar. I am using XP Pro, Exchange Server and oulook 2003 with my own mail boxes on my own exchange server. Contacts, URLs, music and photos sync over the cable just fine. email (after quite a few tweeks by my not so cheap third party network guru) downloads to the iphone over the edge network, wirelessly with IMAP just fine (looks way cool too). emailes can be sent out from the iphone in the same fashion with no problems. Calendar won't sync at all. This is a big deal for me as I have been using a Blackberry for serveral years and it synced calander and email wirelesly and efortlessly, not to metion that I live by my $%%%#&!! calendar and I need it on my phone!!!!. On the phone with apple for over two hours last night. After a whole lot of "try this" and try that" and an esclation to level 2 support they directed me to upgrade my Outlook to SP2. Did so. Problem persists. I have had a number of PDAs over the years and none of them had trouble syncing my calendar with outlook. This is truly the coolest gadget ever invented in the way of a phone\PDA, but for $600.00 USD I can't understand how apple released it with such a huge flaw. Ideas on how to resolve this peacefully?
