Watch for a possible iPhone - iCal calendar sync issue

I just got an 8GB iPhone and was loving the iCal syncing (among other things). However, I then noticed that the darn thing was syncing with a seemingly random calendar and not the one I originally chose. I proceeded to change the preferred calendar in iTunes when I noticed to my dismay that it reverted back to the one iTunes chose for me! To make a long story short, there seems to be a bug (go figure) in iPhone syncing.

I noticed that the calendar iTunes chose happens to be at the bottom of my list (in iCal), so I just reordered my iCal calendars so that the one I wanted my iPhone to sync to is on the bottom. Problem solved (until Apple gets around to actually fixing this bug).

[robg adds: I haven't had this problem with my iPhone; the chosen calendar seems to 'stick' just fine. In an email exchange with the author, the problem may be caused by the fact that most of his calendar names begin with an "@," which is related to his use of iGTD.]
