There is a cellphone that accepts a gif file as its background image.
In a gif file you can set the coordinates for the origin.
If you set them as anything other then 0,0 the phone locks up.
You can send these images as SMS messages.
If you set one of these images to be the background the phone must be wiped and reinstalled by the manufacturer.
