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.

As a result, your BlackBerry device might not display correct time zone information for certain time periods during the year…
