For what it's worth, I have found a work around that works for me. First, my setup:
Cingular 2125 smartphone running Windows Mobile 5.0 (DST patch applied) Windows XP Pro SP2 Outlook 2003 SP2 ActiveSync 4.5 When creating events in the google calendar they were showing up an hour early when I synced to the phone. When creating events in Outlook, events were showing up -8 hours from their actual time in google (I am in the -8:00 time zone). I learned that when an event is 1) recurring and 2) has an end date, the problem exists. When I changed my end dates to "Never," the problem went away in both directions. Also, I found that setting up a recurring event in Outlook for "Every weekday" (vs. weekly and checking the five weekday checkboxes) caused the same kind of problem, and not only did the times get messed up, they recurrence was set for every day of the week, including weekends. Using "weekly" and checking each day of the week cleared up the problem. One-time events don't have any problem at all, and I tested creating them in Outlook, in google, and on the phone and syncing in all directions.
