A lot of important questions where asked but left unanswered why is syncing to outlook calendar such a bloody mystery?

Can you tell me what we need to do to sync our instinct to the outlook calendar? Tom, you said you got it to work. How do we get the update you all are referring to? Is it automatic? Thanks for any input.

My Instinct is synching with my outlook calendar but the events that I enter on my phone get deleted once the phone synchs up with my desktop outlook. The events entered in my desktop work fine and don’t get deleted when the phone and desktop are synched. Anyone else having this problem?

I have version BK14 but I still cannot get my outlook calendar to sync. What did I do wrong? I run the sync and it only updates my contacts. Thanks for the help!

BTW, meeting cancellation come through to the phone automatically, just like reminders. It is pretty sweet getting meeting reminders/alerts on the phone.

Bianca,
Being a former user of Windows Mobile, I am most thankful Sprint/Samsung did not use that sorry excuse for a mobile OS. I remember having to reset my iPaq and Axim several times a day, every day.

BTW, you don’t have to sync your stuff in two calendars. Outlook is automatically sync’d with your mobile email/calendar on the phone. Change one and the other synches in seconds. The OWA email/calendar option is the best update released to date. I now have blackberry-like email/calendar functionality without having to have my desktop PC powered on. Nice work Sprint. Keep up the good work.

I agree, adding functionality to sync with Google calendar would be excellent.

I just upgraded my Instinct software and installed the exchange calendar integration. The calendar works nicely with the existing built-in calendar software and the synchronization is immediate.
If Sprint also added integration with Google calendar, this would make it the perfect PDA for me.

Good job Sprint!

Jeff,
I was able to sync the Work Calander with my Outlook desktop using the Sprint Desktop conntector. Only problem being the PC must be on in order to sync. I have OWA access but received error messages evry time I set up my work email using the OWA option. The Desktop Connector worked first try.
