Yes I do, that is why I found it curious that I did not get DST updates without turning the phone on and off. Now I have a new toy: a Swatch watch which automatically tracks WWV stations and other unspecified satellite or cell tower sources to handle DST, time zones, and so forth. It did not work too well as I crossed America by air yesterday until right before I landed - then the time zone changed from Eastern to Mountain. I need more technical details about how it obtains position information (no GPS in it). Dan
