vvv: They're limited to numeric passwords? I'm too used to Android where at-rest pops up a full keyboard and at least suggests going beyond just numbers

E2: though actually, why do they allow the OS to be upgraded when the phone is still locked? I thought all data connections were a no-go while the lock screen is up. It seems like part of the firmware should be a hook that says "Forced software upgrade without unlocking the phone? fine, but wipe all user data before writing the new os/firmware"
