Your question might be better answered on the linux-dell-laptops list 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linux-dell-laptops). I've seen many Dell
I8500 users on the list, who may have an answer to your question. I'm
sure it is possible, as the SWSUSP I'm using saves the correct time to
the hardware clock and gets hardware time when resumed (from
hibernation, that is). 
Good luck
Damien
