Whatever method you prefer, I guess- it's just that the phone only checks
the time at power up (probably it actually checks whenever it connects to
a phone network, so if you hit a "dead spot" it will reset the time when
it comes back into service.)

The practical upshot is that it sets itself when it's really important-
when you turn it on after landing at an airport in a different
timezone! ;-)
