Daylight Savings Time changes in US

[Guest andy_sutton]

Just curious if anyone has heard about a patch or workaround to accommodate the US Daylight Savings Time change that will occur this year. If you haven't heard DST in the USA will start 3 weeks early on the first Sunday in March, then end the first Sunday of November. Microsoft has released patches for the desktop OS but what about SmartPhones?

For more info on the change, just Google it or go to: http://www.infoplease.com/spot/daylight1.html

Edit: Good old Microsoft. They give the information, but not the files needed to actually do anything....

Well at least that's a start. My support rep told me that the carriers would be providing the patch but can't see that happening when they can't fix any of the other problems on the phones that we all find.

Guess we'll all just have to re-sync our phones after the forward and back happen.

btw we should really just get rid of dst.
