The case of changing Time Zones in my Windows Mobile
I joined the Windows Mobile bandwagon pretty late and still getting used to it. No doubt, it is awesome, but it does come with its own set of frills. I realized it when my time zone (Start->Settings->System, Clock & Alarms) always went back to GMT+1 Prague, Budapest. I used to change it often and reset my time, but pretty soon it started frustrating me and I was thinking to go back to the service center to get this fixed.
Thankfully, the troubleshooter in me woke up 
and I decided to check if this is an issue just with my device or the OS. Pretty soon, I came to know from one of my colleagues, that not only he suffered from the same problem... he also found a fix for it.
Start -> Settings -> Personal Tab
Phone -> Time Zone -> Automatic Change time zone and clock. Uncheck this checkbox and the problem should go away.
Now, a bit of rant...
Windows Mobile is great, but as a newbie, I just don't get this behavior. Why the heck would this be a feature (or is this a bug)?? Changing the time zone sounds fine if I am travelling, but how does it make sense if I am located at Bangalore, have already set my time zone, and next morning I appear in Prague, without a ticket !!! Well, technology can sure take us places, I guess 
.
<Rant ends!>
Until next time
