there is no convetion which timezone to use. The timezone information
_should_ be send in the vevent object along with the calendar
information itself. I guess that the entry sent from the pda does not
have this timezone information and is therefore put into a (false)
default timezone.

Could you show me the vcal object as it is sent from the device?
