New Member saying hello!/Question on 8130 Curve and Time Zones
- Greetings!
I�m a new member on these forums. I�ve been a lurker for sometime but haven�t had time to make my own account but finally did. I am part of the IT Support team for my company with an emphasis on BES administration. Raised in the frozen north that is Minnesota!
Question: Is there a way to allow our 8310 Curves to change the time based on local time zone so we don�t have to switch them manually when we step off of the plane? Is it possible?
Thanks! And look forward to participating more!04-08-08 03:55 PMLike 0 - Hey Luis, welcome to Crackberry.
In options for Time and Date, select the option to update time from the network. When you step off of the plane and turn your berry on, the network will set it to local time.
Your calendar will still be set to whatever timezone you've selected.04-08-08 04:11 PMLike 0 - Hey Luis, welcome to Crackberry.

Is there a possibility that Blackberry will update this in a Firmware or OS update? Our executives travel quite a bit and always ask me about this, because, as you know, it's such a pain to change it manually. Although all sarcasm aside, it would be great if it could just switch.04-09-08 07:41 AMLike 0 - I for one am glad the BB does not automatically change time zones. I have had previous phones that did, but the calander never is correct.
I would always end up missing a meeting because the reminder popped up to late04-09-08 08:49 AMLike 0 -

If Exchange/Domino can program a calender piece that corrects or specifies the time zone exactly with EST/CST/PST etc.. It would be great. This will eventually need to be corrected.04-09-08 09:37 AMLike 0
