And that is just why WinMo is losing support from me. I moved to WebOS and it figured out DST this past weekend without an additional patch or nudging from me.

I agree with the previous post about WebOS.

I am SO GLAD to leave this stuff behind with my iPhone. This is the kind of garbage that made me give up on Windows Mobile in the first place. DST patch????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? REGISTRY SETTINGS??? WHAT?

When I got my Windows Mobile phone in 2006, MSFT promised to usher in a whole new line of devices that would allow someone to update the OS. Since then, my WinMo 2005 device is WAY out of date, DST changed and WinMo people are worrying about applying a patch. Meanwhile, the OS updates never came, leaving the user to manage patches with every release.

That means, if you reset your device, you now have to manage the patch for the rest of your phone's life. Does this strike anyone else as COMPLETELY ASININE?

I didn't have to do anything this past weekend either on my unpatched phones. Of course I don't live on the Kamchatka penninsula or any of the other places where the government, or whatever official entity, changed when DST happens, or doesn't happen. It has very little to do with the OS, except that MS tries to accomodate every variation of DST around the globe where their devices may be in use. As those places change, the accomodation must change too. Hence, the 'patch'.
