I thought Apple had to scrap the iPhone name due to a lawsuit with Cisco and thier iPhone. What happened with that? I guess Apple won the lawsuit, that or paid Cisco phat cash.

Its funny this topic came up. My wife and son (8 months old) were at the car dealership last week waiting for her truck to finish with an oil change. She gave my son the cell to play with because he was being fussy. Well it rings and she takes it from him and answer it. It was a 911 operator. She had to totally convince the operator that our son dialed it on accident. They wanted to send a car out to check and they did know her location. I was tripping on that because I thought they couldn’t tell. But most cells have a location option turned on by default. Good to know...
Around our parts at least, most cells have their e-911 GPS locator disabled by default, but it's automatically enabled and remains in effect upon a call to 911 until you manually switch it back off. A 911 call also puts that cell onto a higher priority connection to the cell tower(s).

Hmm...
I'm not so sure that the 911 triangulator can be disabled on cellphones in the U.S. I know that you can disable it manually for other services, but I've never seen one that actually allows you to disable it on a 911 call.
