The empire strikes back - mobile phone legalese

Just about any product that you buy is going to include some type of legal notice. Verizon's offering of the DROID Pro by MOTOROLA (my former employer) has two.

The second one is rather lengthy:

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT MANY SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS OFFERED THROUGH THIS UNIQUE DEVICE ARE PROVIDED BY VARIOUS DEVICE, OPERATING SYSTEM, SOFTWARE AND APPLICATION DEVELOPERS (E.G. GOOGLE, MOTOROLA, MICROSOFT, PALM). IF YOU USE, LINK TO OR DOWNLOAD SUCH A SERVICE, OR AN APPLICATION SUCH AS A NONY–VERIZON WIRELESS LOCATION BASED GPS–TYPE SERVICE, CHAT ROOM, MARKETPLACE OR SOCIAL NETWORK FROM THIS DEVICE, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF SUCH SERVICE OR APPLICATION. IF YOU USE ANY OF THESE NON–VERIZON WIRELESS SERVICES OR APPLICATIONS, PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU SUBMIT MAY BE READ, COLLECTED, OR USED BY THE SERVICE OR APPLICATION PROVIDER AND/OR OTHER USERS OF THOSE FORUMS.

VERIZON WIRELESS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR USE OF THOSE APPLICATIONS OR INFORMATION YOU CHOOSE TO SUBMIT OR SHARE WITH OTHERS.

YOUR VERIZON WIRELESS CUSTOMER AGREEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND CERTAIN OTHER SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED TERMS GOVERN YOUR USE OF ANY VERIZON WIRELESS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

Didn't someone tell Verizon that shouting is unpopular?

But that notice wasn't judged to be the most important one. Here's the FIRST notice:
