I was shocked today when I had to manually adjust the time on my Visor Platinum for daylight savings. How could something so obvious as an 'auto adjust' be left out in the new OS 3.5.2h?

What about changing time zones when changing locations

On a similar note, I noticed recently when I was travelling, that when I selected a different home city, my Vdx did not adjust the time zone. Even my old Psion Siena did that.

hmm...
citytime 3.0 remembered to change for dst.
it even maintained the differences between regions until the appropriate time. i.e. i couldn't figure out why there was only a hr. difference between the east/west coast.

When you go into CityTime, go to Utilities | Change Location. That is how you can have it adjust your time also. It doesn't change your calendar times though.

Great, that works! Since I saw "Select home city" pop up in the menu, I used that and I never bothered to check the Utilities menu. Thanks.

Don't feel bad. I saw that option for the first time about 4 months after I got my first Visor.

Now I could be wrong, but isn't Daylight Savings a "United States" thing? And even here, everyone doesn't adjust. I know that the state of Arizona doesn't - they don't "Spring foward, Fall back" like the rest of the country.

(That said, most PocketPC's DO adjust for the time difference.)

Personally, I prefer the change to be manual. If I lived somewhere where the time didn't change, I wouldn't want my PDA to automatically change when I didn't want it to...

You are wrong indeed, a lot of countries have DST...most (if not all) countries in Europe use DST...And Australia does use it too, for the Olympics they even did DST a couple of months ago... MS had to bring out a patch to make this change possible for windows...

Oops!

OK, now I know better... At least I was right about Arizona

Question...
Does anyone know how many versions of most PDA's are released? (i.e. Japanese, US, etc...)
If some other countries changed their time a few months ago, I wonder if their versions had the automatic time change built-in...
