[Avodah] Mechallel Shabbos to destroy a non-kosher phone?

[Ben Waxman]

I don't that the "what is the situation in which someone sees someone 
(presumably dati) using the phone on Shabbat and how could it happen at 
all" question is the important point here. The Rebbe's point could be 
that destroying a so-called non-kosher phone is so important that it 
could be done Shabbat.
