I use the phone only at home and it syncs fantastic with my ntp server,
so changing time is not necessary.

The phone is excellent for its price. And configuration and update via
tftp works fine. The only negative point I have is that you must set an
option in the config of the phone that is accepts the TFTP server from
the dhcp server.

Best regards,
Matthias
