The 4G "Spider" — Samsung
It's a common lunch scene. Three people are sitting at a restaurant table; two are gabbing about a mundane travel itinerary while the other is diddling on a smart phone. The guy puts down his phone: a picture of a tarantula is showing on the screen. Since this is AT&T's Samsung 4G Infuse phone, though, the resolution is creepy good; one tablemate, bit by a bad case of arachnophobia, starts screaming. The other pounds the spider/phone to death with his shoe. "Got it," he shouts with pitch-perfect timing, as the phone owner looks on in horror.
