Cant synch new google calendar with phone

[HAB]

I have a new Droid 2 Global.  I did not have a google calendar when I activated the phone.  I have now created a calendar and the phone will not recognize the calendar to synch with.  It never shows up in accounts to add.  I created a gmail account before the phone was activated but did not know that the calendars would not work without a google calendar.  So now how can I get the phone to 'find' the calendar.

Got it to work unintentionally.  I decided to build a new Google account and new calendar and add that account.  When I added that account to my phone, magically the calendar appeared from the original Google account.  So I went and deleted my new account.  I have no idea why that happened, but it did, and all is well now.  This is some kind of bug that Google and Motorola need to work out.

The option to sync calendar would appear if you selected the option during setup. Even if you don't have a calendar, still check the option should you need to use it at a later date.  Alternately, you would have needed to delete/erase your gmail account from your phone then re-add it. If you only have one gmail account set up, you will need to do a factory reset since at least one gmail account is required for android phones. 

If you were to re-add your previous gmail account now, you will see the option to sync calendar during setup.
