Issue two seems to be a known one. The work around is to simply go to settings and choose connections and do a scan and setup the free connection there. There is a thread on the problem including the bug # in the fremantle section

Yes, I often see bogus WiFi listings at, for example, train stations. Don't hold it against the N900 without some kind of corroboration.

1. The device's clock didn't adjust itself to European local time even though automatic was selected in settings.

Note: some of the causes may be other than problems with the N900. Please share your experiences here.
So basically I flew over to Europe from North America. The good news is that 3G connections were picked up (in most cases). however I experienced some issues:
1. The device's clock didn't adjust itself to European local time even though automatic was selected in settings. I checked the gps, and the phone was aware where it was. Is it normal or did I miss a setting?
2. At Schipol airport of Amsterdam the "Free Public WiFi" could't be connected to but KPN hotspots (for fee service) worked fine. Had the same issue in Canada with public wifis.
That's it for now. Will report other things as I travel to countryside etc.
