Default Tornado:Severe deficiency with Appointment Scheduler ! WHY?

Hello to the Group,

I desperately noticed that even with the new AKU2 upgrade (Firmware version 2.x) it is still NOT possible to schedule an appointment from the calendar and invite PARTICIPANTS for a meeting !!!
(My Smartphone is a Qtek 8300.)

What the hell is the reason for it ?

The calendar on the Qtek 9000 for instance (same as the JASJAR, a PDA), which is otherwise pretty identical however DOES allow inviting people to a meeting.

With availability of DirectPush being able also to invite people directly from your mobile (Smartphone) would make really big sense.

I cannot imagine any reasonable explanation why this important calendar functionality is - still - crippled in the Smartphone version of WM5.

Was this simply forgotten by Microsoft ? or HTC ? Or is there any reason I am not aware of ?

Any chance this is repaired via an update ?

Sorry for the unintended crossposting. Wanted to post this just to the Tornado Forum, but mistakenly had posted it to Universal.

Have you tried Papyrus?? IT is a welcome addition to the original calendar and may fix your problem.

No I have not.

I will have a look at their webpage, thanks for this hint.

However I'd like to avoid on the one hand installing a second PIM (I'm using my Qtek 8300 mainly as my business phone and not just for playing around) and secondly I am really surprised how things like that can "happen" at all.

Implementing an Appointment Scheduler which is otherwise quite the same as the one implemented on the HTC PDAs, while forgetting/removing/crippling out any way for actually inviting people to that appointment is more than strange.

Though I am otherwise really satisfied with my Smartphone (especially with the improvements of the 2.x upgrade) this is a really bad bug.
