Moto Q has to go to Sprint service center for DST update.

They knew about this when they designed the thing ??

Wrong: It was originally decided in 2005.

Motorola has a software update for the Sprint Q on their Support page:

http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/motosupport/source/softwareupdateselect.asp

At the URL above, select Sprint at "Select Carrier Type",
then select Q on the Choose Phone Model link.

Then you download the app and and connect your Q to your PC to get the
update

(You have to have Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2000 SP 4)

    It doesn't get its time feed directly from the server like
every phone I've ever had. I have to reboot it, but it just goes to
whatever time it's served. And even if I didn't reboot it, it would
eventually reset itself.

    Unless there's some higher programming function you're talking
about, but I would assume that, just like any computer's firmware,
everything is mediated by what time the computer thinks it is. I think
I'm missing something.

That was actually meant to be a question. Sorry. As in:
