I just got a bluetooth adaptor and sync'd my T610 for the first time. All of my iCal entries are off by an hour on my phone. What gives?

I have the same problem with my T68i. Must be some summer time problem, but I think it's correct on both the Mac and the phone.

I had this problem too. It ends up being a time zone thing. Make sure you set the time zone on the T610 explicitly (and correctly) -- don't use the "automatic time zone" feature it offers.

That fixed it for me. "Auto Timezone" is not working apparently.

Muchas gracias.

I turned off the auto time and re-sync'd and they are still off by an hour.

I am on the west coast which is GMT-800 when it is PST and GMT-700 when it is PDT. Since it is now summer I set it to GMT-700 and then set the daylight savings time setting to 1hr Summertime. Is that right? Or should I set it to GMT-800 and 1hr Summertime. It seems redundant to have both of these.

Set the zones correctly, then delete and re-add the phone in iSync.
