BlackBerry Users: New Daylight Savings Time Patch Required

I was talking with the people at BlackBerry today and while on hold I was informed an urgent patch is required by all BlackBerry users. The change in dates for Daylight Savings Time will throw your BlackBerry’s calendar out of sync if you don’t update before then.

Blackberry Daylight Savings patch is available here.

From the Blackberry website:

When the DST dates change in March 2007, BlackBerry® devices will not update their clocks for the affected time zones if no patches for impacted BlackBerry software and third party software are applied. As a result, your BlackBerry device might not display correct time zone information for certain time periods during the year…

My company has made available free software — BoxTone DST Expert for BlackBerry — as a service to the BlackBerry community. Helps BES admins monitor patch and update progress by BlackBerry user and BES.

Couldn’t find your e-mail on your site, but here: http://www.builtny.com/index.php?pageID=1575

You said in an old post you couldn’t imagine carrying around said sleeve in the girly colors, and I feel the same.
