Armani Phone Packs Rape Alarm and Anti Theft Device

Since the Armani phone appeared last week, a new feature has come to light, proving that the Samsung handset is aimed squarely at the female market: A rape alarm.
It works thusly: hit the volume button four times, and an emergency message is sent to five pre-programmed numbers. Apparently the switch is easy to find and activate even through "leather or denim", which presumably means it'll also be easy to set off by accident, sending your loved ones into a panicked frenzy.
