>A coworker's android phone (Droid 1) died during an OTA upgrade due to lack of battery. This bricked the phone (he had to get a replacement)... combine with the fact that his phone wasn't backed up, and he was a very upset guy for a week or so as he redid all his settings and hacks.
It's possible to avoid this, though. Just have the loader require the device to be in charging mode/running off of AC before it allows the update to be applied. That way, it lowers the chance of bricking due to lack of power considerably.
