Is its purpose to scare small children and pets into "freezing" for the camera (kind of like that red-eye-eliminating rapid-flashing option on some cameras)?
Okay, I'll enter this Rorschach Test. It looks like a military tank winking at someone. Maybe the inspiration is that robot who winks at Will Smith near the end of 'I, Robot.' Or, maybe it's like a signature line from an action movie (only this is a signature gesture): "Do you feel lucky, punk?" --wink, wink--
What does it say about you (and me) that this thing looks scary?

Sorry, doing too many things at once with two many people here ...
I MEANT "freezing" for conversations (as in, paying attention long enough to listen to grandma say "hi"). We could use that help.
(And btw, the rapid-flashing DOES work in the analogous context)

It's not scary. It's a friendly, happy phone. The battery panel seems to wink at us in a nonchalant...
OK, it's creepy.
LOL...that's what mine looks like too, but I've never "looked" at it that closely.
I think it's cute! Look at that button nose...
Motorola 55x?
Just like mine.
