HTC Tilt 8925 / TyTN II
Birthdays and anniversaries are off
Has anyone else seen this? When you enter a contact in outlook and include a birthday and/or anniversary for that contact and then sync that contact to your tilt, the dates on the tilt seem to be a day off.
I entered a contact with a birthday of 10/15/77 in outlook but it ended up as 10/14/77 in the tilt after the sync. The strange thing is that if i enter the contact in the tilt and then sync to the phone the dates come across correct. This doesn't seem to affect the birthday entry in the calendar. So the calendar entry on the phone and in outlook both have the all all day event showing up on 10/15 every year.

Some versions of Windows get confused by the new daylight standard time. Look again, and if the calendar event is off by 1 hour (making it start at 11:00 pm on 10/14 instead of midnight 10/15) then that's what's going on.
The only way I know of to avoid the problem is to not enter any new appointments during the 3 weeks that DST moved.

This is not a problem on windows. This is specifically a problem on the windows mobile device and birthday and anniversary dates associated with the contact. Interestingly the all day events entered in the calendar are correct in both outlook and on the phone. I hope that clarifies things a bit.

Windows Mobile = Windows. 😉
Your PC has probably received updates from Windows Update which correct its behavior regarding the new daylight savings time. Your Windows Mobile device probably has not received any similar updates. So any date entered into Outlook during the 3 weeks of extended daylight savings time will not synchronize correctly regardless of whether you enter them into Outlook on your PC or on your Windows Mobile device.
Birthdays and Anniversaries are normally stored as all day events in Outlook, but because of this particular sync bug they end up being entered as 24-hour events that are off by 1 hour.
Of course this may not be the bug you're seeing, I just mentioned it in case that it is.
