Am on a trip...clock time not changing

[HelenC]

We left AZ crossed into NM, and then to central time zone.  Time on my BlueBerry Silver never changed.  I went in and changed it manually in New Mexico and the time changed.  When we went from mountain time to central time....it didn't change.  Manually again changed it.  Is it the phone...Verizon....?  Help please.

Its blackberry actually. You have to change it manually.

Phooey!  All the things this phone can do....and Verizon can't set it so it changes time zones.  My DH has one of the most basic phone...and his turned over every time line we crossed.   Oh well!   Thanks so much for the information.

Don't know how to do the kudos!  Sorry

I was recently on a trip that covered 5 States, and two time zones. I find it ridiculous  and unacceptable that the Blackberry can do everything but change time when you enter different time zones. I shouldn't have to manually set the time each time I enter a new time zone. That's ancient stuff. Something is wrong with that picture.

Yeah, it doesn't have anything to do with Verizon. It's just one of those glaring bits of code RIM never put in and hasn't bothered to fix. Shame.

I'm not sure what RIM is, but yes, definately--it's a shame. I'm sure for those people that travel a lot, it will be a deciding factor in whether they actually want a Curve or not.

You should know who RIM is. They're the makers of your beloved Blackberry phone. Research In Motion is headquarted in Waterloo, Ontario Canada. They develop the Blackberry Operating system and the hardware themselves. Verizon, or any other carrier for that matter, doesn't have much to do with the OS itself. All they can do is approve/deny updates and wait for RIM to fix it.

Here. Educate yourself.`

If in your previous posts you had said "RIM, the makers of the Blackberry" that would have helped. Instead you said "one of those glaring bits of code RIM never put in" like the whole world is suppose to know what RIM stands for. I'm not a techie. I do know who made my phone, just never saw it abbreviated before. I did not need to click on the link you so generously provided. I am not blaming Verizon. I'm saying it's more than likely a deciding factor in why a lot of people won't buy the Blackberry. Yeah, we all have watches--haha.  When traveling, it's nice to see the correct time that someone calls in on the phone--especially when you miss the call.

Oh well, not a big deal. No need to do any more research for me. It's all good. According to my watch and my Blackberry, it's 1:40p.m. and I'm about to meet some friends for a BBQ.

Have a good one!

Thank your replies.  I just changed the time manually.  LOL   Still like the phone.!

Nite all

I believe that is a feature of the new OS 5.0

Actually, I think RIM would have to set it to change, not Verizon.

Timex, anyone?  LOL!
