Daylight-Saving Time Change Patch

As an energy-saving measure the Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended daylight-saving time (DST) by three weeks in the spring and one week in the fall. In 2007, the first year of this change, daylight-saving time starts at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 11. The display time on your BlackBerry® device will be one hour behind for the first three weeks of DST beginning on Sunday March 11, if a software patch is not run on the device, or if the time is not manually changed.
