Does your Cingular Phone Have The Right Time?

My doesn’t…and it sucks.

Honestly, I am more than capable of arriving to work, meetings, lunch, dinner, etc. late by myself. No need for assistance from Cingular. What’s worse? I use my Samsung BlackJack as my morning alarm and yes, I forgot to adjust the time of the alarm because, well because i figured Cingular would not forgot to adjust the time pushed down to their handsets.

Now I know the US government threw a huge wrench in the machine that is Cingular by changing the date that we would “leap forward”, but just how difficult is it to fix this?

And yes, I have restarted my device a dozen times since yesterday hoping a restart might fix the issue, so this is not user or an ID10T error.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue with Cingular?
