Android phone and time zones
Any one here come up with a work-around for Android's crippled time-zone implementation? Specifically, is there any way to create future appointments or reminders for time zones other than the one you are currently in? For instance, today I'm in US Eastern time, but need to create appointments for next week in European time and the following week in US Central time. I'd like to be able to do that without having to do the math in my head.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Nice. I have a Moto Droid Pro (the supposed "business" Android), and it has no provision for time zones at all. (The exchange calendar implementation is actually broken in many little ways, but this may turn out to be the deal killer).

No TZ capability when entering an appointment on the phone using the built in Calendar function, to either my Outlook or Google calendars. Have you looked at any of the 3rd party solutions, e.g. Touchdown? Not sure whether they might provide that capablity.

I've also looked at some other calendars in the market, but none has TZ support.
Pimlical from Pimlico Software (currently in beta, not available in the market) does implement time zone support, but the Droid Pro apparently uses a funky implementation of Activesync which breaks the app. The developer is trying to find a solution, but so far no dice.
