Entourage syncing protocol

Hi All,
Here is a curly question for you. Does anyone know if with the advent of snow leopard entourage/iCal will change its sync protocol for mobile devices?

I have a nokia 66500. Most of the time when i try to sync with entourage it does two things. 1, it fails or 2, Alters the date that i had an event by 24 hours. I have killed off the time zone support but still have tha same problem. if i only sync a small amout of data it's fine otherwise it crashes
I put VMfusion on and used outlook and it works every time. Just a pain to have to switch machines all the time when i'm using Office on the Mac

I was forced to use bluetooth to sync as i brought the phone not knowing how poor Nokia is with Mac support. Bluetooth works fine with windows but not so good with Mac (for entourage)when it is on the same (physical) computer so left with the conclusion of software problem not hardware problem.
Thoughts and ideas appreciated. Thanks

Well Apple doesn't mention much about this type of detail and anyone who
might know would be under NDA.
In any case, I don't see what it would change much.
They need to keep SyncServices compatible with the currect set of
applications so a complete overall is doubtful. Improvements and
corrections are likely though.

That looks like SyncService issues indeed. We can only hope they will be
corrected in Snow Leopard,
