Clock drift

I missed my bus this morning. I arrived at the bus stop at 7:18, according to my Nokia E65. It wasn’t due to leave for another 2 minutes, and the bus was neither parked and waiting or driving off in the distance.

There happened to be a Go Wellington bus, with GPS-driven clocks, stopped in front of me when my phone showed 7:20. I was 3 minutes and change behind that clock – the first time I have noticed any significant deviation. What annoys me about this is that I use Nokia’s phone management software and it refuses to keep the time on the phone updated properly. Gammu manages to do it, so why can’t Nokia figure it out?
