Hi there,
I *knew* I should *not* have let the VZW clerk set up my personal data on my phone. GRRRRR!
I made a new Gmail account just for my phone because I don't do my email on it. My plan is to use this new account strictly for syncing my calendar and tasks. I have my new Gmail addy added to my phone, it shows it will sync my email and my contacts but it does not show syncing my calendar or my tasks.
When I try to add my new G-calendar to the default Android calendar the option to add a calendar is greyed out so I can't add it. It shows the email addy that the clerk set up. On the top field on the screen it says "All calendars" below that is the email addy the clerk set up. I click the menu button and get the + button to add calendars, click it and the little popup window has the OK button greyed out and the cancel button is not.
Settings --> Accounts & Sync the new Gmail shows up, I click that it shows Sync Contacts and Sync Gmail, that's it.
Settings --> Accounts for the one the clerk put in shows Sync Contact, Sync Gmail, Sync Calendar. I try to remove the account the clerk put it and the phone asks me if I really want to delete etc ... I click REMOVE the phone tells me "This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all of your personal data). You do that in Settings, under SD and phone storage."
Ok, so what personal data does it delete? When I go to SD and Storage the Factory reset option says it erases ALL data on phone making me more than HUGELY nervous to do this!
How the h do I fix this, please?

Basically you're telling me I will have a brand new phone - again - that I must totally reconfigure, correct? I know you don't know me but I've set a LOT of things up the way I *think* I want them.
