I use it, but it's not perfect. The capabilities between the palm
and CalAgenda are not totally compatible, so most of the problems I
have had are with mapping features. The palm doesn't have the
concept of multiple attendees, so scheduling meetings for multiple
people has to be done on the host. Occasionally I will end up with
two copies on both my palm and host of meetings with repeating
schedules. It has not dropped any meetings of which I am aware.

Bottom line for me is, while it's not perfect by any means, it is
adequate for managing my handheld calendar needs. (I'm using a Palm
Tungsten-T and sync to a W2K system)
