Uh, you are getting boring. I posted my paragraph answer and after 4 days of waiting for you response, to which didn't reply I deleted the bookmark. If you know the link then post it. I do not have it anymore. Also post my challenge to your data as well. Want to be fair don't we?

All number will appear as will characters. This just means that you have hit a key before the keyboard locked. Please close this thread now.

WRONG!
This is a security feature...
You can type '112' (European emergency number) or '911' (US emergency number) even with the phone locked...
You might be unconscious and the person who gets near you first, might not know how to unlock it.
Better yet, you can type those numbers and make the call with no SIM card inserted or with no network coverage (this one is strange, but i think network operators share network access in these cases, or maybe it uses a diferrent frequency with wider range)

I spoke to SE about this less than 20 mins ago. It was a feature that was implemented in the newer handset within the last 2 years. It was brought about because of some woman falling and not being able to complete the dial. The guy did not know the country it originated in (probably the US with a fat lawsuit to go with it) but since then it has been a feature in the phones. Originally a phone would respond to one key press while in lock mode with the character pressed. Example, Keylock on + "P" = P in the standby screen. So, yup I was incorrect about the new feature implementation but it was not always there in the first place.

Its not a new thing. All Ericssons that I own, have it too. Thats phones dating back to 1999.

Me no write the news, me reports it. Call or yourself: +35892992000. Ask for the Customer Service there. Marco Bergstrum is his name. Tell him that his info is incorrect.

Common: u don't need to unlock your phone in order to dial an Emergency number. Irrespective of 911 or 112.

Hmmm... strange... i could swear this feature exists for a long time now.
And you know... Customer Services are not the most knowledgeable guys on the planet. (Very) often they are wrong or just tell you some bullcrap...

I'ts nice to see that despite political/religious topics being banned we people can still have a 'flame war' over silly subjects 
This features has been about for years, certainly back as far as the T610/T68 days. I think this has been settled too also, perhaps time to lock the topic?
