Daylight Savings Time Might Screw Up Your Phone

CNet has an article up talking about something I haven't thought of in 6 months: the return of daylight savings time. Normally I greet the return of DST with joy; it's another sign the days are getting longer and (hopefully) warmer. This time around, however, there are big problems looming, because of the energy reduction bill Congress put together in 2005 that changed the dates of daylight savings starting this year. That means that when your otherwise very intelligent phone changes your clock, it might not be the right time to do so. According to the article, several phone OS manufacturers have put out patches to fix the problem, but no one seems to be quite sure if the patches will work correctly - or whether or not most users will know the patches exist. What gets me about this situation is that I would expect the wireless carriers to push these patches through to the phone's software automatically - but as I've learned in the past, things don't seem to work that way.
