Anybody's iPhone rolling over to 2008 properly?

Hopefully this will force an update out of Apple.
Considering it will only matter for 23 hours, and those will be over in less than 5, I don't think so.

Let them worry about bigger fish... until December 2008. ~ CB
Well, that is likely something completely different.
I have tried variations on turning mine on and off before and after the switchover, and it works just fine.
Set my time to 23:59, waited for it to roll over to 00:00, then turned off. Turned on, and it works fine.

We're passing the threshold where you'll see anything wrong. Nothing to see here people. Everyone move along...

yes, but international dates just switch the day and the month, not the year. Todays date is difficult to give an example, but tomorrow for instance will be 2/1/2008. We in the US would think that it is February 1.
Screen cap for those who haven't seen this. I just changed my clock to a minute to midnight last night and watched it go wrong.
However, just after changing the time, the setting menu crash and I was thrown back to the home screen. Then the next time I tried to unlock the phone felt really unstable, clocks flashed up then it seemed to wake and sleep itself a few times on its own. Pretty scary stuff so I put the time back right. Could be totally unrelated but who knows.
Either way, also I have the date set to UK version (dd/mm/yy) so 08/01/01 is really Jan 8th 2001, and if I make a call then goto my "recents" it shows it as this, in full text.
I find it really odd, you'd think the date and time calendar stuff would be standard code, it just never changed, and if the iPhone really does have a type of OSX on it, this sort of code would be standard and unchanged you'd think?
For those who say it's no real issue because it sorts itself out, I'm not so sure - the "time" on any device can be pretty crucial, time stamping certain data and using that to control how things are manipulated/displayed can be crucial - this bug really needs looking into.

I noticed the same thing. At a time when most people will be looking at their phone's Clock feature, it failed to impress by displaying incorrect information. The World Clock was the part that was messed up, as shown in the screenshots. The first is taken right before midnight Central Time and the 2nd is just after midnight. Instead of the date it should have said "Tomorrow" or "Yesterday" like it does every other night at midnight...some screwy stuff.
I wonder if maybe apple fixed this in the newest firmware? I'm using 1.1.1 still. I filed a bug report here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

My time rolled over correctly but the pictures that I took with my iphone from noon on new years eve till ~2am on the first got imported into iPhoto as being taken from 1/1/2008 to 12/31/2008. Of course the correct label would have been 12/31/2007 to 1/1/2008.
Odd error.

Interesting, just looked at mine from that night and they are 12/31/2008 and 1/1/2009! 1/1/2008 didn't show up as the Date Taken until the afternoon. When I transfer them to my computer however, the correct Date Taken is used. It's only when viewing the Phone as an attached Camera in Windows that I see the wrong dates.
