    Is there a 3rd party calendar app (for Storm) that will handle repeating appointments differently than the existing calendar app?

    My problem is this, I'm a guitar teacher and so most of my appointments are repeating. Each week, I put a note in the appointment's note field indicating payment status.

    This works fine until I have to change someone's time. I can't tell the calendar app to change the repeating appointment from this day forward, I can only change just this one day.

    On top of that, if I change the end date of the repeating appointment so that I can create a new one from the new day forward, the storm deletes all of the notes for all of the previous entries and I have no idea anymore when someone paid or not.

    I used to use a Palm tungsten T3 for this and it was perfect. If anyone has any suggestions on a calendar app that will handle this better I would love to hear it. Thanks.

    I second your request. I'd like a calendar app that functions more like Google Calendar where I have the option to end a series of repeated events with the ability to change events if necessary and then end a series without it affecting the past events that may have been changed.

    A few things that Palm had going for it was a great desktop app, the ability to hide contacts and editing events like this.

    Yeah, it's really a shame that RIM assumes we all use Outlook and that's the only desktop calendar app that the blackberry will sync with. If I used Microsoft stuff in general (outside of Windows and that's out of necessity) I probably would have bought a Windows powered smartphone.

    But I'm still hoping someone has a suggestion before I go randomly buy some and try them out.

    Just one suggestion until you find something. But can't you choose to "open as series" instead of open occurrence and change the time? Does that not work? I don't have anything to test it with right now tho.

    You can "open as series" but then all of them get changed. What I would want is "open as series" but then have it change "from this point forward" and not change the previous entries or delete their individual note fields.
