It's very handy MPE can calculate holidays, but can't they be downloaded to the phone?

Rightclick a holiday an select "Add to calendar" - or similar ;-)
If you want to transfer all holidays of a given year then you can import a holidy-calendarfile. There are many of them in the www

I was right clicking in the calendar where nothing happens. I hadn't tried right xxx over the text on the left side.

When you say there are calendars on the www you mean google for it?

I'd like to suggest a way to add all calendar entries in one go, so you don't have to sit and click and many many entries to add them.

Also, can it set the type of calendar entry? All holidays get downloaded as "Appointment" where they really should be marked as "Holiday" :)

- You should rightclick the holiday-item in th calendar
- yes, i meant google will give you much results
- and no, its not a good idea to make it possible to add all holidays from MPE to phone cause much devices can hold only 300 appointments

Don't you think that it should be up to the user if they want to do that or not?

Why should I be punished because someone has a crap phone? (and its not anywhere near 300)

Some one has a crap phone ? I think about 60% of SE-Phones has this limit.
Is it really so hard to download and import a holiday-calendar ?

Sometimes i have to protect users fom their own. And you can be sure that i make this decitions. Its helpfully to give inputs how a program can be made better but its not helpfully to put everything in question.

Well yes, since I don't know where to look.

I just don't like that programmers make choices for me - which is one reason I don't have any products from Apple.

(And strictly speaking sony ericsson phones have too much of that as well - I'll probably switch to Googles Android once it is released here)

Yes, I just told you I found out how to do it. I just thought (and think) one should be able to right click on the date in calendar as well.
