To format the date, time, and numbers:

The Formats Preferences screen lets you choose a default country for your device and also lets you set defaults for times, dates, and number formats. When selecting a country and time, date, and number formats, keep the following in mind:

•When you select a country, the time, date, and number formats as well as the week’s starting day are adjusted, For example, in Germany, time often is expressed using a 24-hour clock and the starting day of the week is Monday; in the United States, however, time is expressed using a 12-hour clock with an AM or PM suffix and the starting day of the week is Sunday. You can customize your own settings.

•The Time setting defines the format for the time of day, which appears in all applications on your pda phone.

To choose a country as default:
