Pocket Informant is for Pocket PC based devices - as you found out.
The default calendar is pretty limited on the Smartphone - unfortunately. Most of us run Papyrus on our devices. It's a great replacement for the built in calendar. You can find a copy here -->

There is also a calendar replacement available from DeveloperOne, but I don't think they show category icons, or have a monthly view.
