I was flashing my N900 today, while setting up the time & date at the first boot, i noticed the last year in the scrollable select box is 2036. It made me think about the future, what if my N900 survives up to the december 2035? Then how will i continue using it? Like mayan calendar's 2012, will there be any consequences?

I'd imagine it will work just fine like so many other examples... setting the time back and carrying on.

on a more serious note, they could've upped it to 2037 without risking someone going over unix y2k problem accidentally (or y38 is the preffered name?), might need to wait a year and 19 days to see any averse effects
