Title:
  contacts online from a mobile device are shown  with a LANDLINE phone
  icon

Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
  Confirmed
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  See screenshot.

  For ages, on seeing this symbol, I assumed it meant "able to receive
  an audio call." I fail to see any situation in which a person could
  use an IM client from a phone like the one depicted in the icon, bar a
  jailbroken Amstrad e-m@ailer.

  A generic mobile phone icon, preferably a generic iPhone- or
  BlackBerry-style smartphone, would be clearer and more accurate, and
  reduce the potential for confusion.
