Gah! I thought I'd got away from this ludicrous behavior when I left WinMo!

Why do appointments in the calendar on my N900 move when you change timezones? Does anyone who makes appointments to be fulfilled in another country calculate the local time of a meeting in order to enter it into their calendar? No - you call someone on the phone, say "I'll meet you at 1pm in London" and you enter that into your calendar. And when you get to London and change the timezone so the clock is correct, the calender should be representative, but it's not - the appointment has moved.

Appointments should be immutable and shouldn't move under any circumstances. Or, at least, appointments should be tied to a timezone when they're created so if the device's timezone changes, only those appointments which are tied to the new timezone changes.

For example, I live in GMT+1, I make an appointment to meet a friend when I get back from London at 8pm. Then, in London I call the friend and he tries to confirm the meeting - my calendar now says we're meeting at 7pm when I get back, which is just wrong.

Is there any way around this?
