Why would these be necessary on devices that have "carriers"? I can understand it for stand-alone Pocket PCs, but Phone Editions and Smartphones sync the time with the carrier signal, neh? So as soon as Sprint updates the time properly on their end, my phone should have the correct time.
What don't I get here?

As I read (somewhere out there), it's because of the time zone thing and the OS making changes based on what time zone it perceives you to be in (as an offset of GMT). So if Sprint pushes out a time of 5:23pm at GMT-4 (Eastern Daylight savings), the OS will adjust it by an hour because it thinks you're still GMT-5 (Eastern Standard Time). Or something to that effect.
