If you're interested, I've actually found the android implementation
to be a much better reference. Granted its written in java, which
personally just grates my will in general, but its very cleanly
implemented. 

Indeed, calendar, PIM, etc are actually all included as
part of the exchange protocol. 

Thanks,

using C++ and the new features introduced in TR 2011. It will, however,
not use any Qt libraries until it is ready to be tied to the uPhone
UI.
