Solved it myself with the help of another frustrated user...thank you!
I finally was able to resolve it on my own with no help from RIM. I noticed when I went into the calendar options there were 2 accounts; default and one for my current email address. I suspect the default account was the one that carried over my previous entries from my old BB Bold after the device switch. Since I became so frustrated, I eventually manually entered my BB calendar enrires on my Outlook calendar and then deleted the ones on the BB. That made sure there were no entries at all on tmy phone. The default account disappeared and there was only one account listed under the calendar options. I syncronized with the Desktop Manager and voila, it worked without any error messages!
Certainly not a great solution but it worked for me and everything is syncing like it should.
Who wants to delete and re-enter their previous calendar entries as it defeats the purpose of syncing your device!
