read your post and tried to reply but not able to so excuse the private message.
I'm having the same exact problem with my wife's calendar sync. It changes the dates of recurring (mostly annual) events by 1 or 2 days and has really messed things up.
Also, it has a nasty habit of merging 2 contact records together that happen to have the same first or last name.
Are you having the "contact merge" issue?
You sticking with Companionlink for now? I'd really like to find something more stable. I'd pay $100 for something that worked perfectly and seamlessly.
Thanks.

Hmmm. I do have a problem with contact records being merged but I really don't it's due to Companionlink for me. I think it's a Droid problem. Here's why: The ones I really noticed were ones that I have a contact for me which includes my work number (555-55-5555) and I have a contact which is Verizon Call Forwarding in which the number is *72555-55-5555 so that I can forward my personal cell to my work cell. These two contacts show as separate in my Outlook and also in my gmail contacts but on the Droid, the Verizon Call Forwarding is merged into the me contact. I don't think that it's merging necessarily by first and last names (for example, it did not merge the two contacts I keep for me which are Jane Doe and Jane X. Doe) but now that I'm looking at it to write this message, it is doing something really strange. I see that it's merged my Google Voice number (which is listed in a totally separate contact with Jane Google Voice as the contact name in the company field in Outlook) into my work contact and also another phone number that I don't even recognize. So at this point, I'm not sure what I have in contacts on my phone. But the Gmail contacts seem to match my Outlook for everything I've checked. Problems are on the phone only.
As far as Companionlink, I've already paid for it but it will soon be OBE from my point of view since I've decided to get rid of the Droid and return to BB. (Although the ebay Gods seem to be against me....won the auction for a Tour and paid a week ago and no further contact from seller and no merchandise so getting ready to start claim process. In mean time, can't just buy another one in case I do eventually get the one I bought last week. By the time it gets resolved, the Tour2 may finally be released.)
