that is not the issue the issue is should the phone fail in the forced update and the user goes to use the phone to call 911 but the phone is bricked or dead because the forced update failed and that persons dies or is hurt in someway because they could not call 911 could palm be liable also the FCC has clear regulations on the ability to call 911.... please read the article in the link in the first post....
