It seems like it should be possible to also get the time from your GSM carrier. This kind of half-happens already. When I flew back from Italy last week, I had a layover in DC and swapped out my Voda SIM(which I finally got working :) ) for my T- Mobile one. The FR updated the clock from CET to EDT on registration, but remained stuck on EDT even after I arrived in SF and was in the Pacific Time Zone. So the data can be pulled out somewhere, it's just not being done consistently. ---Steve _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
