Sony Ericsson W700 with a hidden jolt: Def don't taze me, bro!

Don’t panic. There is nothing wrong with your W700 battery or device. Police in Nottingham England recently seized a Sony Ericsson W700 which appeared to be a normal device, except had an added “stun” button. Closer inspection yielded the appearance of two small metal prongs projecting from the device, which were capable of delivering 900,000 V of electricity into a human body.

The modded device is 18 times more lethal than your typical 50,000 V taser used by law enforcement. The 21-year-old man, from Hyson Green, who was apprehended with the “phone” was sentenced to aggravated burglary and possessing an offensive weapon. [BBC]
