Moment and E-911 service 

Just wondering if anyone has thought of the liability implications surrounding the fact that the Moment does not appear to correctly locate your position using cell tower triangulation methods.  The phone is labeled as E-911 capable, however if you place a 911 call from within a building, an upside down car, etc where you can not receive a GPS signal, and are unable to give your location, I'll bet that the E-911 center is most likely going to see you somewhere in South Africa, Siberia, wherever you are NOT, and will not be able to at least get emergency services rolling in your general direction...

 

I would guess there are probably Federal or State laws covering the ability of new phones to provide (accurate) E-911 location information, although I could be wrong.  Either way, however, if I were Sprint/Samsung I'd be having nightmares thinking about the legal/civil liability should anyone have to make a 911 call before they get the Moment patched and a wrongful death or serious injury occurs.

 

I know that I, were I on a jury, would have no problem giving both companies, in their entirety, to a plaintiff who could prove death, or additional pain/suffering occured because of delays caused by such and oversight.
