Daylight Saving Time update roundup!

by Chris Ziegler, posted Feb 27th 2007 at 9:41AM

Do DST Rule Change Blues have you down? Well buck up, kiddo -- we've got all (well, most) of the software patches you need to get the smartphone of your choice back into tip-top time-keeping shape right here. Though the changes -- which shift and lengthen the number of weeks we're pushed forward an hour -- should generally make us all happier, better, and more peaceful people, our phones stand to get a little confused about the situation without an update, and surprisingly, manufacturers seem to be doing a decent job in making sure those updates are available. As you find more, please add them in comments and we'll get 'em into the master list!

DST is an archaic concept that should have gone the way of the cuckoo as soon as the light bulb was invented.

DST came after the light bulb though. Hmm.

Ahh, it's nice living in a state that doesn't have DST :-)

Western Australia now has daylight savings for the next 3 years! So you can change us on the map

Even Apple got around to updating our time zone for +8DST :)

Ummm, Cuckoo's haven't gone anywhere. They still fly around happily. Maybe you're thinking of the Dodo, or Great Auk? :)

Am I crazy, or did Nokia revoke the DST software fix? My memory card got corrupted so I was looking to reinstall it, and I cannot find it at all! I clicked on the link, and I even went back in my history and found the Accept and Download page of it...but then it says it's not on the server anymore! What's going on??
