After resetting my 9300, Calendar is horrendously slow

Q. Help! I hard reset (formatted) my Nokia 9300, in order to solve a previous problem with broken communications, and my Calendar and Contacts data seemed to come across OK into the device. But when I browse around my Calendar, the application takes an age to display its entries, especially when I move between different months. I can't think of anything I've done wrong. How can I speed Calendar up and get it back to normal?

Interestingly, you can get the same problem if your 9300 is brand new, with Outlook synchronising over entries that aren't sorted in any sensible order. Your PC has the power to display entries instantly, however inefficiently they're stored, but not so your smartphone. The solution is to get Calendar to re-order and re-index its entries and the way you do this is to use 'Tools | Move/Delete', pressing 'Options' and choosing to 'Move to a file' entries from the 'Whole calendar'. This will take a couple of minutes, after which you can use 'File | More options | Import' to bring all your information back into Calendar again. And, hopefully, scrolling between months and views is now a lot, lot speedier. It's worth noting that, on your next synchronization, Outlook will note that all the original entries have been deleted on your device and will offer to reinstate them. Just say 'No'. Allow it to delete the originals on the PC and it will happily sync its database to the new, better-indexed entries on your 9300.
