Duplicate Events on Blackberry Calendar and Google Calendars after Sync

I recently switched to a blackberry 8130 with Verizon Wireless. After using the blackberry for a while and having all of my google accounts on the blackberry, I was noticing a very annoying trend. Whenever I got an email invitation, it would result in a duplicate entry in both my blackberry and google calendar. After much frustration I realized what was happening. The invitation was automatically being added to my Google calendar and to my blackberry calendar when each received the email. The solution to this problem is very simple.

I set up a filter in my Blackberry Internet Service setup. For verizon customers this service is located at: bis.na.blackberry.com. I created a filter using “invitation” as the subject line. Now whenever I receive an email invite, it is only accepted and automatically added to my Google calendar.
