Finnally got some helpful info on the no analog 911!

[Itech1]

Like many of us I do enjoy having the safety of a cell phone for 911. When I saw that the A530 wouldn't have analog I worried about the no analog problem. I spoke to a verizon rep who told me these new phones will have nice feature where if you need to dial 911 and are not in a digital area the phone will force it through analog even thought it doesn't have the amps in the phone. I don't know exact details on how they do it. But at least thats good news
