I would prefer an some app that can sync the clock with the GPS universal time. That would be awesome.

The time shown on my N900 is usually inaccurate, usually by about 3 to 5 minutes. I assume this time is sent by the cell towers to the phone.
Most likely, you have disabled an update from cell tower. Go to Settings, Date and Time and verify that "Update automatically" is checked.

It had nothing with 1-3-5min inaccuracy.
The N900 probably doesn't have a clock crystal of its own inside, but is there any way via NTP or something to display an accurate time on a screen?
