A big advantage of the CDMA network was that it had an inbuilt Time and Date
function, which automatically adjusted for Daylight Saving, Leap Years, and
even location..
For years I had a old CDMA phone sitting on my desk, just to get this
"always correct" time, day of week, month, and date function.

GSM (and 3G) does the same thing. But for some incomprehensible reason,
the Australian carriers chose not to switch it on.

It's been on for a few years now.
Telstra turned it on when Sol arrived and discovered that it wasn't
on. It was pretty much his first order.
Some handsets implement their own Daylight Saving function, and have
it wrong now that those states who have daylight saving (except WA)
have moved the start / finish dates. The handsets attempt to be smart,
and make a mess of it.
Also, the time on the handset doesn't change at daylight saving change
until you power down / power up.

Dunno which network you use. Telstra does it for GSM and 3G

Load of shite. As if he would be "concerned" with something as minor as that

More likely he just wanted it to work on *his* phone, so they had to turn
it on on the whole network.

Lets see, I switched to NextG from Telstra GSM in late 2007/early 2008.
That was 2003.

Depends on the flavor of 3G and the phone, I s'pose. Certainly my Samsung A501
on NextG doesn't update for DST changes. I had to change it back manually back
in the first weekend of April...

And?
You said it worked fine for you on GSM. The post provided clearly shows that
it didn't. i.e. You're full of shit.

Or even more likely, he noticed on an interstate trip that his
work-supplied handset didn't update automatically, thought "that's
ridiculous", asked a subordinate why it wasn't happening, wasn't satisfied
with the answer, and ordered that it be turned on.

Clearly the service was brought in some time after April 17, 2003, and
before late 2007, dick.
Do we have to spell every little detail out for you?

You took the time to find an article on GoogleGroups.

So if I said, "SMS works fine on GSM", I'd be "full of shit" because it
didn't work on launch in 1993?

It wouldn't make any difference what you *said*, you'd still be full of
shit.
The point is that i said it didn't used to work and you said it did. In
03 you said it didn't though - that sounds like it didn't used to work
to me! Do try and keep up - it's your argument you're struggling to
follow, after all.
