Well on Verizon & Alltel's network in my area the time updated when it should.
(Went from 1:59 AM EDT to 1:00 AM EST).

But I just forced my phone onto Sprint and their time wasn't set back yet
(it says 2:20 AM as of this post), and that's not right.
Their system should've changed the time at exactly 2:00.

I bring this up because I was asked by my girlfriend earlier if the phone I gave her
would update correctly or not, (or if we need to reset the phone).
She relies on the alarm clock to wake up for the Flea Market on the weekends, at exactly 5 AM.

I told her that it's automatic on CDMA (her last phone was on T-Mobile),
and since she's roaming on Verizon in NJ, their system is currently correct,
but I wonder why Sprint didn't fall back when it was supposed to (2 AM local time).

I have never had an issue with DST on Sprint. Every year, including tonight, my phones have set back properly at 2am. Weird.

Maybe they'll do it in a few hours... not sure why. but I placed a few calls on Sprint, and it says I placed them after 2 AM (not true).
Then I put it back on Verizon and the time was correct. I'll have to see what it says on my call details report on my bill.

Sprint currently says 2:34 AM.

I found a number of systems wait until 3am to roll the time back.

On my SE, the time did not change either. The time said 3:40 AM but it was not, it was 2:40 AM.
