Now I just had the firmware upgraded in the hope that it would get around this bug. But it did not.

So this little workaround will be a help to many. It creates a new calander in iCal and copies all your all-day events into it. You run it before you run iSync and you will find all your all-day events scheduled around 4am in the morning of the day in question.

So in the day view of the T68i you will see a little 'up' arrow promting you to look before 8am; and you can take this as a 'symbol' that there is an all-day event for that day. Then you switch to week view and you will see the all-day event scheduled for between 3:45am and 4:00am or thereabouts.

Now in fact; I've found that I don't want my T68i clogged up with all-day events like birthdays; national holidays etc... So IN PRACTICE I will not use it. When I want an all-day event to appear in my T68i I will schedule it as such - i.e. 9am-9pm.

But I have read many postings on various T68i / Sony Ericsson user groups and websites that are miffed that all-day events are not synced; so I'm sure there will be many happy users and I hope the developer posts to these sites to let the folks know.

The only neg point is that you either have ALL your all-day events synced or NONE. To get around this you would have to enter an all-day event twice in iCal. First as and all-day event in your normal calander and then as a early morning timed event in the calander that this program creates called: All-Day Events. But then you would not need this program at all!!!

So best solution would be for Sony Ericsson to fix this bug! But to do that they will need to change the firmware to allow an option when scheduling an event to be all-day. And I'm not sure this is possible as it may be based on a hardware feature.

But then life's not perfect...
