Rogers Waiver!

I know it's a few months late but I was looking into this issue and found this related link:

Rogers 911 debacle - 4r4nd0mninj4

Near the end of the page in a response to this rogers customers email about this clause:

"What this point means is that should you be unable to complete a 911
call from your HTC device due to not doing the 911 update as requested
by us, we will not be responsible for any damages or injuries relating
to such. Furthermore, it also means that should you decide to take
legal
proceedings against Rogers due to the inability of completing a 911
call, you would be responsible for any fees Rogers incurs due to the
proceedings"

The fact that this statement is public makes me feel better about accepting the waiver now.

Technically you could also, possibly, be held responsible for Rogers costs if your Magic or Dream fails to call 911 because of the bug, while trying to help someone else, and that person sues Rogers because of the failure of your phone.

Personally I have not signed the waiver, and I have not updated my phone (still running stock 1.5).

It is possible to root and install the right radio so data is not cut, thus avoiding the need to sign the waiver.

All phones must have access to 911. That can be used to sue someone.

I think that's a CRTC rule, isn't it? If so, then I'm even surprised Rogers would have such a waiver. It should be: you get the update or your phone doesn't work.
