Palm Treo 700w Has DST Bug

Treo 700w owners, listen up: this is an important bug to be aware of, especially for everyone who's not in Arizona or Hawaii.
Yikes! Looks like the "network time zone" feature that automatically updates your time zone is having an unintended side effect -- it's helpfully sliding events around when it shouldn't. :? I hope they have a permanent fix soon; in the meantime, make sure to carefully check your device and bookmark this page. Oh, and make sure your time zone is correct in the first place: my 700w didn't update this morning, because it was set to Indiana-based EST (...which, of course, no longer exists. Go figure.)
Quote: After Daylight Saving Time begins (2:00 a.m., first Sunday in April), you may notice that some appointments in your smartphone's Calendar appear one hour early. For example, if you had scheduled a dental appointment for 9:00 a.m. Monday, it would appear on your smartphone as 8:00 a.m. Monday; the same appointment will also appear incorrectly in Outlook on your desktop PC as 10:00 a.m. Monday.
In addition, full-day appointments may appear one day early.
