Important updates for smartphone, BlackBerry® and Office Sync to address daylight savings time change
Due to a change in the start of daylight savings time (DST), smartphone and BlackBerry subscribers will need to download and install software updates.
The update is necessary in order to ensure that time will display correctly on smartphone and BlackBerry devices during the 4 additional weeks of DST this year.
This issue is a result of the Energy Policy Act, passed by the United States Congress in August of 2005. This law changes the dates of both the start and end of DST. The change mandates that DST will start three weeks earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and will end one week later (2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November) than the traditional date.
What should smartphone, BlackBerry® and Office Sync users do to ensure their devices display the correct time?
Below are links to information and software updates that will address the DST issue on smartphones, BlackBerry® devices and Office Sync applications.
