I love the BB. There is one or two things I miss. The clock that changes time zones is one problem.

I don't miss the touch screen, it took a few days to stop pecking at the screen though.

Keyboard feel is very important to me and I do like the BB keyboard.

The clock not adjusting is annoying, but not a dealbreaker for me. I was used to the Treo, which adjusted with no problems when I landed in any new timezone.

The touchscreen is also something I don't miss, but yes, it took awhile to stop tapping the BB, but I adjusted and have not looked back since.....

I'm back and forth through time zones all the time. Arizona doesn't do daylight savings time, so I have to be careful when going there to make sure I'm on time. Other than that, I'm happier with this. Seems much more stable.

You may want to go into your clock settings, and check things out. Since I updated my Storm, I can set it to change with time zones. Also, when you have the clock open, you can set it to show clocks for the time zone you are in, and your home time zone. Hope it helps.

I have the latest update for mine. I don't ve the option of displaying the current time, only my "home time".

Has the change of time zones had any negative or unexpected effects on your appointments, either individual or repeating types?

Don't know. I keep mine set to eastern, no matter where I am. I use it for an alarm clock, and it's easier for me to keep it on eastern time, since that is what my log book is on when I am driving.

I log eastern as well I use my Sirius or my watch for logging every Century Classic and now Cascadia I've had the clock on the radio runs 5 minutes fast. I've yet to figure that one out. . I've got the screaming meanie for an alarm. There's no over sleeping with that.

I had one of those too. Yeah, there is no oversleeping with the meanie. But one night, I ended up dumping an opened bottle of water on mine when I went to shut it off, and shorted it out. I decided to try my Storm for an alarm, because I couldn't get a new one right after that. And it actually worked for me. So, I just decided to keep using the Storm. Haven't overslept with it yet.
