setting time zone

This issue come to light becasue of the daylight saving time change. If I leave the option (under the date and time) section set to automatic it chooses the wrong time zone... case in point.. my phone was set to auto.. I noticed the time zone was Calgary, my time zone is Vancouver. I turn off auto, change the time zone, click auto and it goes back to Calgary

I too, live in Phoenix. and noticed that my iPad2 (with iOS5) hadn't changed, (as it shouldn't, because Arizona doesn't subscribe to DST).. Yet, my phone did change. I went ahead last night and switched it manually to Phoenix, and left it that way.


I'm a little leery of moving it to automtically set status, because I'm wondering what will happen in March when the rest of the country goes on DST, but Arizona doesn't. If it thinks my time zone is Denver (which it is right now), will it know that I switch to Cupertino time then?


I"m curious as to why Apple just doesn't pick up the time from the network like other phones do?
