how can i get it to change time automatically. i live in the est area and i went to chicago which is on cst. the time on the phone didn't change over. is there a way for it to do that. i have it setup on network and i tried playiing around but the time wouldn't change. on the bottom where it says network time it was displaying right.
BlackBerry devices as of this writing do not automatically change time zones. You have to do it manually. See the Time Zone Issues link in my sig for a full explanation. I have been told that OS 5.0 gives users this option, but I have not seen it yet.
You would think that the BlackBerry would do this...that is kind of annoying - a lot of simple things that one would think the BB would do doesn't, and regular phones do...oh well, I still love it!
@BerrySky - did you actually read JeffH's link? It explains rather eloquently that it is not a mistake, not an oversight, and not simple. If it automatically changed time zones, the appointments of all BlackBerry-carrying time zone travelers the world over would be messed up every time they changed time zones,
Far from being annoying, it is an extremely elegant solution to a complex problem. I speak as one who crosses time zones a lot, and it is a comfort to know that all my appointments will alert me at the correct time regardless of which time zone it was scheduled in or which time zone I happen to be in at the moment.
