I've got a Nokia 5800. Unlocked and used with a Vodafone SIM

The clock was originally manually set, and Auto Update set to 'off'
In this mode the phone lost about 10 secs a day.

I enabled Auto Update, and now the phone is a constant 6 seconds behind actual
UTC/GMT as reference from BBC pips, MSF, etc. That's fine.

I've taken it abroad, within seconds of logging on to a country's network, the
clock updates to local time, and remains locked to it (albeit 6 secs slow)

However, when I return to the UK, it remains stuck on the foreign time. I've
left it for several hours but no luck. Once manually set, I then re-enable
Auto Update, and the accuracy returns.

I've just returned from a 'triangular' trip, from country 1 (UAE) to country 2
(Egypt) it updated to local time within seconds. However landing at Heathrow
today, guess what !?

What is, and where's the problem; Nokia or Vodafone UK ?
