I picked up a cheap Android a couple of years ago to see if mobiles had become worth the hassle yet. Permissions handling was one of the big things that convinced me they hadn't.
The most memorable example was trying to take a picture and the camera app telling me it needed permission to make phone calls. I still can't think of a single valid reason why a camera would need to make phone calls, so I refused, and blam, no pictures for me.
