Bug Description
See screenshot.
For ages, on seeing this symbol, I assumed it meant "able to receive an audio call." I fail to see any situation in which a person could use an IM client from a phone like the one depicted in the icon, bar a jailbroken Amstrad e-m@ailer.
A generic mobile phone icon, preferably a generic iPhone- or BlackBerry-style smartphone, would be clearer and more accurate, and reduce the potential for confusion.
