You know, in some ways that's preferable to what my phone does.  It sets 
the time automagically, but if it loses signal, it stops making any 
pretense at keeping time.  I find that I can't use it as a reliable alarm 
clock in most situations, which is just disappointing - how much more 
would it have really cost for them to do it right?  My ten year old Nokia 
never had a single time-related glitch.
