Here's what happened with my Centro:

I keep it set to update date, time and time zone from the Sprint
network.

This morning when I awoke, my Centro thought it was the correct time,
but also though it was in Los Angeles.  I looked outside my window and
it still looked like Colorado, so no tornadoes or other natural
phenomena had taken me west.  N.B.: I said that it thought it was the
correct time - FOR COLORADO!  Many (not all) things appeared in their
"proper" Pacific Time slots, with the now-familiar suffix telling me
what they WOULD have been in Mountain Time.  Notice also that this is
NOT OK. 

I changed the setting to retrieve just the date/time and not the time
zone from Sprint.  The time remained correct, I updated the time zone
from Los Angeles to Denver, and all is well.

Well, all is NOT well, and really, is this a Sprint problem (good luck
getting THAT resolved!) or a Palm problem (likewise).  DON'T THEY TEST
THESE THINGS??????

It's really a good thing that Centro/Sprint works so well, and that the
network coverage everywhere I go is so good. If it weren't, I'd be at
the mercy of the support organizations of Palm and Sprint.  I know both
organizations have excellent people working there, it's just that THOSE
people are kept well hidden from the public!  I might call them just for
comedy relief, but I have 0% expectation that they will a) understand
the problem, b) care about the problem or c) do anything about the
problem.  This from years of experience with Palm and months with
Sprint, wherein very few problems have fallen outside the scope of a),
b) and c), above.  

Note:  the Centro and the Sprint network, here, work exceptionally well;
better than any Palm device or carrier available as an alternative.
However, much like 1&1 Internet's hosted Exchange, I feel like I'm
somewhat exposed since the three support organizations I have now
mentioned are quite inept when it comes to, well, support!!  It's always
a battle to get to a), it's nearly always that I feel I'm given lip
service to b) and a rare surprise when we accomplish c).

Cynical, me??  Nah.

Notice, though, that this is NOT like the spring.  We "should" already
be on standard time now.  This problem manifests when under all
circumstances we should/would be on standard time at this point in the
year.

I'm SO glad congress decided to give us an extra month of late sunny
days...

Cheers,
Don

Subject: [Treo] Treo doesn't fall back (dst)

I noticed that my Treo 700p does not "fall back" or "spring ahead" until
you power off and power back on.

That a bug or a feature? Any way to fix it so that it auto changes at 2
am like it is supposed to?

Thanks, Victor
