I believe I can correct this with USB networking tricks, but I'm pushing Amazon support for a fix, so maybe they'll understand that this is a significant problem.[/QUOTE]

The issue seems to be whether getting command prompt access through USB will allow you to use the Linux "date" command to reset the time on the K2. Or, since the 2.03 upgrade has abolished USB network ability, one can directly get to the command prompt on the K2 without using a PC, and then reset the time.

And I agree, Amazon CS should have a fix - at least for the "Most Recent" ordering bug for those who either are out of EVDO range, or choose to leave Whispernet off to get the longer battery life.
