#1 Timezone Difference Between Handheld and Google Calendar
My google calendar settings show that my current time
zone is GMT-07:00.
My blackberry handheld (model 7100t) shows the timezone
to also be GMT-07:00
The time and date are set correctly on my handheld.
In Google calendar, I create a one hour appointment on
8/18/2006 for 2:00pm till 2:00pm the same day.
I checked the event in Google calendar, and confirm
that it is set at 2:00pm.
I sync with GCalsync, and the sync process sees my
event, and processes it without any errors.
When looking in my handheld's calendar, the 2:00pm
event is listed in the calendar at 9:00pm (7 hour
difference, similar to my timezone offset)
If, after this, I sync again with GCalsync, the event
is NOT duplicated on Google Calendar at 9:00pm. The
event remains where it should be.

I find that a viable workaround - at least with my BB 8707v
- until this is fixed is the following:
1) Set BB timezone on GMT (Use Barbados, it doesn't do DST!)
2) Sync
3) Reset BB timezone to local
That takes care - for me - of the TZ issue...
(Now to figure out why some appointments keep multiplying in
GCal, and others don't...)

Similar issue (using Blackberry): I've noticed time zone
issues seem to vary between appointments and all-day events.
For example, if I upload using the GCal time zone, the
appointments show up in the correct times but the all-day
events are off by two hours start/finish.

I think this might be related to a JAVA bug and could possibly be fixed by using UTC rather than GMT as I think the sign in items like GMT-7 is intepreted with a revese sign. UTC-& should work correctly.
