My Verizon phone is a Motorola ZN4, aka "KRAVE". It was designed to be a "media" device and Verizon had Motorola design it so that their VCast TV and VZNav and VCast music applications are very accessible. Subscribers pay extra for the data plan if they want that stuff, of course. I have not chosen a data plan, so if I download data, it's even more expensive.
The cool thing about this phone is the touch sensitive clear flip cover. When it is closed, the icons that are touch sensitive on the front are the music, the tv, the navigator and the My Pics applications. You can lock the phone so the front display is not touch sensitive.
If, however, you forget to lock it, it's very very very easy to activate one of those applications. TV and VZNav are especially accessible.
Apparently my butt has been watching either The Simpsons or Futurama, or some other Matt Groening-inspired animated Fox network program.
Is your butt gonna pay the bill for any data it's been downloading?
Naught butt!
My cheapie phone came with the Verizon plan. It takes pictures and will send them via wireless to parts afar. Its little camera button is on the side and is easily activated. Too easily, as it often turns on when I merely open the phone to use it.
For that reason I have several inadvertent pix of myself taken in the bathroom mirror when the phone rang as I held court while seated. I think it is a design flaw, but the customer service rep calls it "user noncare".
This morning at the gym it rang while I was doing situps, and I got a nice picture of my feet.

I'm thinking there is a call to Verizon's billing department in gekko's future.
It may very well start they way my calls to Verizon's billing department went, "You !@#$%^ers did ..."
Oddly, Verizon and I agreed to part company some years ago. They got the house and the big car and all I got was this ratty, 8 year old Motorola Timeport.
Say, George. Be glad it didn't take pictures of any other parts of your anatomy.
That's still unlawful in many states.

I'm having my butt call them. They speak the same language, after all.
Smell-O-Vision™? Waaaaaay cool. I thought that was years away.
