How you find out what provider doesn't send clock info?
Have a look at bug #9107 for some details - the "Update automatically" setting in the N900 Settings is very confusing if your network does not send time, you tick the box and expect it to work but in fact it never does (the clue is that the Timezone/Date/Time fields remain blank but how are you supposed to know they are meant to populate with values if you've never seen it work before?)

Having an ntpd daemon running periodically and only when there is a network connection (it should never initiate a connection) would be great. Perhaps there is a way to hook it into the network up scripts?
