Iphone calendar entry comes up with red dot?

The calendar would not have to be colored red on one of your computers - the iPhone assigns it's own colors to calendars synced from iCal (it does not use the colors chosen in iCal, for some bizarre reason, although Apple released a kbase article that calls this 'normal'). So, if you have three calendars synced, one of them has been assigned red as a color.

How annoying. I just found this too. Right after I re-signed up with Apple's less than stellar MobileMe service b/c I can't find any other way to sync my contacts and calendar. What a waste of $99 per year for something so simple considering how much this phone can do.

Anyway, here;s what i have found:

When inputting a new appt in iPhone - with MobileMe in effect - I now see an option called Calendar (under "Repeat" and "Alert" in input screen). When I leave new appt in default iPhone calendar the date gets red dot and does NOT sync with MobileMe. So - and here's the annoying part - the only way I can make sure my newly input appts get synced to MobileMe and my Outlook on PC is if I take the additional 3 button clicks/steps to click "MobileMe" in Calendar section.

If I do that then the appt gets a blue dot and syncs properly across the board

I am very VERY disappointed and how unsimple (unApple) they have made syncing contacts and calendar with this phone. If anyone else finds diff, please tell me

I have two calendars and one WAS red and one WAS orange. The orange one has changed to yellow with white text and it's very difficult to read. How can I change it? Thanks.

Addendum - I sync to my computer using Outlook. Thanks.
