"Some users of T-Mobile's G1 phone found that typing any word on the phone's keyboard ? in any application ? sent whatever they typed to the phone's command line shell.

Those commands were then executed with root user privileges, meaning there were no limitations on what the commands could do to the phone. For instance, texting the word 'reboot' would actually cause the phone to do so."
