Bad Points

Inconsistent Bluetooth implementations for Calendar synchronisation and updating


General Comments

If you are looking for Bluetooth connectivity as a means of updating Calendar information from an iPaq PDA - forget the S55! If you synchronise via a desktop/laptop (Bluetooth or cable connection) all your appointmens are established in the S55 with correct reference to GMT. If you send individual appointments "Vcalendar" messages via Bluetooth from a PDA such as the HP iPaq 5450 or desktop/laptop the S55 ignores the timezone and sets appointments at GMT. In Australia this means appointments are set 10 hours out of sync. Siemens "support" has been incompetent. After hours refusing to acknowledge there is a problem they now concede they have implemented time-zone aware functionality for full synchronisation via Bluetooth and time-zone unaware for Bluetooth updates to the same calendar. "We might fix this in a future version" they say. What a bunch of turkeys!
