Lawyer friends used to have to search high and low for phones that didn't have integrated cameras - because mobile phones are allowed in court but cameras aren't. I expect they've given up now.
I have a couple of client sites where those rules still apply. Got a trusted nokia 3210 for just thos times.

My Nokia N95 calls itself a computer rather than a phone. It doesn't tell you how to make a phone call until page 90-odd of the manual. So it & the iPod touch both got counted.
I always get a dissapointed look from the salesman when I buy mobile phones.
Salesman; 'what do you want to do with it?'
MTT; 'talk to people on the phone'
Salesman; 'are there any particular features you might need'
MTT; 'yes, the ability to make and recieve phone calls'
Salesman; 'do you want bluetooth?'
MTT; 'no, I have a collection of white teeth which are quite adequate for biting and chewing my food'
Salesman; 'do you not want to receive e-mails and transfer data to and from your PC?'
MTT; 'no, not really, I just want to talk to people on the phone; is that really so difficult?'
Salesman; 'would you like a particular colour? Do you want a clamshell model or a foldy outy or a straightforward model?'
MTT; 'a cheap one that makes phone calls'
Salesman; 'but that's not good for your image Sir'
MTT; 'sod that, I just want to make phone call; it's not as if the people I'm talking to can see me'
Salesman; 'oh, but they can if you have a built in webcam'
MTT; 'all the more reason why I don't want one of those'
Salesman; 'well, we have this one (the most basic Nokia); will that do?'
MTT; 'Yes'
Salesman; 'would you like a belt holder and headphones with that'

I don't consider my N95 a computer. It's not really been much of a phone either since the day it made a funny smell and died.
