Verizon FIOS TV in Dallas cannot seem to get it together though. First thing Sunday morning the TV set boxes had the correct time, the DVR box did not. Later that afternoon the Verizon FIOS TV setboxes and the DVR jumped two hours ahead of what they were the day before. So now when it should say 1:15 PM the clock is saying 2:15 PM. I called to report it yesterday, couldn't get through. Called again today and the first message on their technical support line says "we are aware of the TV setbox and DVR time issue and are working to resolve it", so I just hung up. I think it's hysterical Verizon claims to be all that and a bag of chips with their FIOS service and can't get a time change right.

Window XP notebook seems fine, Im in California so I havent checked my office desktop.
Treo 700w - Verizon - patch installed - changed time but apparently did so by quantum teleporting me to Caracas/La Paz as my location.
HTC TyTN - TMobile - Patch installed (twice) - didnt change, did it manually
HTC SDA - TMobile - totally gobsmacked, thinks I am in Denver and changed all my appointment times as well.

My laptop and desktop both updated times just fine. I did/do have a problem when I went to back up my desktop Sunday night, I found that the system files were seen to be off by one hour by the sync program. I cancelled the process ... now I'm not sure if I should just start over or this will reset it itself at some point when we pass the 'normal' time for a time change.

I have a number of LaCrosse Technology radio clocks in my home, and only one of them switched over to the correct time.
Did the atomic clock scientists not get the word regarding the new DST?
