The phone will upload GPS information to the system and keep a constant stream of data transferring (even after the call is ended until you manually end the transmission) as well as voice contact so that could be the problem which they have. Whatever the cause, I'm glad that they're making such a proactive move. This is a very good business model and VERY good publicity.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Phoenix]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 1st 2009 5:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG recalls 30,000 830 Spyder handsets for crappy 911 connections]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/lg-recalls-30-000-830-spyder-handsets-for-crappy-911-connections/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/lg-recalls-30-000-830-spyder-handsets-for-crappy-911-connections/</guid><description><![CDATA["For Spyder 830 owners, hang up and try texting..."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MM]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 2nd 2009 4:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG recalls 30,000 830 Spyder handsets for crappy 911 connections]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/lg-recalls-30-000-830-spyder-handsets-for-crappy-911-connections/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/lg-recalls-30-000-830-spyder-handsets-for-crappy-911-connections/</guid><description><![CDATA[A single report?
