   Only if the owner of the phone had been informed beforehand.  Perhaps   
   providing a switch to let the owner decide if they want that option   
   would have been prudent.  In this case they were found to be guilty of   
   hiding what they were doing, which made owners upgrade to newer phones   
   rather than just get new batteries.
