It's kind of weird, but one of the appointments is off by 5 hours
(6:00pm-8:00pm on my desktop, 1:00pm-3:00pm on my device) and another is
off by 4 hours (7:00pm-9:00pm on my desktop, 3:00pm-5:00pm on my
device). Both of these events are recurring, so maybe it has something
to do with whether or not I entered them during DST, but either way they
are correct on my desktop and different and wrong on my device (and
wrong by more than one hour, so there is something other than DST
regardless).
When referring to the timezones I meant what I said, I have the timezone
specified for Windows XP and Outlook 2003 under Tools -> Options ->
Preferences -> Calendar Options, and I have them specified on my Windows
Mobile 6 device as well.
Also, I did use exactly the same timezone for all three timezone
specifications, so they should have the same DST.
Hopefully this narrows down the problem a little more. If there is any
other information that would be helpful, please ask.

Next question just to narrow things down, by how much are they off?
Also you say Outlook is set to the same TZ as the WM device. Do you
really mean Outlook, or the PC? You can set the PC base time and
Outlook's display differently.
Next point is that there are typically more than one GMT +/- X for each
time zone. Are yours all exactly the same? Not one GMT -4, La Paz and
another GMT - 4, Santiago. These can differ by how and when DST and
such are handled.
did you install the time zone update for the computer and mobile
device?

When I synchronize my Windows Mobile 6 device with Microsoft Outlook
2003 using ActiveSync 4.5 the hours are offset on my Windows Mobile 6
device for all the appointments. Both the device, Windows XP, and
Outlook 2003 are set to the same time zone,so I doubt that has
anything to do with it. Why does synchronization need to be so hard?
