Stupid phone

Who would ever come up with the idea of having to press a sequence of numbers to get 911? What was I thinking? So stupid. Oh, wait . . .

It is supposed to be a shortcut to dialing 911 for faster access... Yeah lets have the shortcut 911.

I didn't push it as I assume that will make a call. You make it out like if you brush up against it, it dials 911. That's still a sequence to get to an emergency call.

His ass is well trained?

So he's dialing his own nipple with his junk? Can someone get pics of that for Mr C?

LOL I hate to be the only one to agree with Shmokes here, but that sounds like a really pointless 'feature'. Wouldn't it be easier to simply unlock the phone then dial 911 without having to scroll around several menus? Also, the whole point of locking the phone is to prevent inadvertent pocket calls. Sounds like they have failed to accomplish that.

I have to agree. I didn't read it as he had a problem. The phone should not do that when the keys are locked IMO. It would piss me off also.

So how many times would you call 911 before modifying how you carry it?
No one argued that it's a good design. Bad design doesn't remove accountability for usage.
