Rogers HTC Dream/G1 Owners: 911 Warning

Topic:

If you own an HTC Dream through Rogers Wireless, you need to turn off your GPS receiver right now. AndroidGuys reports that Rogers has just sent out a request asking all Dream owners to do just that. Apparently there is a bug within the phone that makes it unable to complete 911 emergency calls unless the GPS receiver is turned off.

It is hard to think of a glitch more serious than this. Data loss and network connectivity issues and the like are annoying, but no worse than a pain-in-the-ass. Not being able to call 911 is a serious, potentially life-threatening issue. Rogers is working to fix it now, and have suspended all sales of the HTC Dream until they do.
