Please don't let this be the reason you don't switch to Android. I think this is a stupid bug to exist, but it hardly affects most people.

The main problem is not the bug itself, but the fact that it's not fixed for so many years.

Maybe not most people, but Iceland is a relatively big country to completely exclude your product from (especially for such a silly reason).

If the OP were Icelandic I think that'd be a pretty good reason not to switch to Android.

Reykjavik is available on the world clock, and if you go there it picks up the correct timezone automatically. The only missing part is that the system timezone widget which you would never normally use doesn't have it.

Also, while excluding a country would be a fairly crappy thing to do, Iceland is the 174th largest country in the world by population, so it's not big relative to very much at all
