Here's a fun tip that I had never seen before. If you're a frequent traveler and use the Clock app on your BlackBerry, you can set the app to always show your home time zone (or show two different time zones). This is super handy as you can view the clock and instantly know what time it is at home. Be it to compare meeting times, know if your kids are still awake at home or just to keep yourself on schedule, this can be a great help. Keep reading to learn how to get it done!
Always Show Home Time Zone on your BlackBerry
To show your home time zone, when in the Clock app, press the Menu key then choose Options
Next to Home Time Zone choose your home time zone
Now when you are traveling outside of your home time zone, you'll see the local time on the clock and your home time zone in the upper left. Pretty sweet!
You can always use this to keep track of two time zones regardless of where you are by setting your Home Time Zone to any other location.

Quick Tip: Show two time zones in the native BlackBerry Clock
Now this is a good and a very good tip.
Thank you CB!
yup!
Thanks A.Z...
I only keep track of 1 other timezone, so I'm good with this feature!
...I've now deleted the free app that I was using for this purpose.
~I feel that much closer to my BLACKBERRY;)
I just noticed that if you are already in your home time zone, it will not show. Only appears when in a different time zone.
I randomly discovered this myself. It looks way cooler in analoge than the flip clock you have shown here.
i just use the free myTimes app.. keep track of over 10+ time zones .. handy before I call someone abroad..
Nice find Adam, thanks!
Switch the clock to analog... Looks pretty cool
very nice!
This I did not know. First tip that's new to me.
i guess maybe some networks don't automatically change the time zone, so maybe this would be for them. But on verizon my time changes, so i would think us vzw'ers would always have the home time zone to always show the actual home time zone.
HEY! My thread made the front page. That's awesome! :)
Very helpful tip! Mahalo.
Great tip, thanks!!!
Have to say though, I changed my time to Fiji time, and got the 2 clocks, but then couldn't work out how to cancel it all and go back to just my Sydney time, lol.
Yeah - just shook my head and thought maybe I just should stay on Fiji time and enjoy the relaxed lifestyle!!!!
very awesome tip! will come in use when i take my trip to Ireland in a week!
Great!!
