I had some extrange rejections at 123 in some photos of a cellular for copyright. The extrange is that I removed all the logos...
I posted for help in 123 forum but it seems to be dead. Is this guy (Alex) on Holliday?

Was it a Samsung? If so all Samsung designs are trademarked, and although I haven't checked I'd imagine some other manufacturers are probably the same.

No. Nokia I think. But I have uploaded other tech images: phones, pda, pocket pc, laptop... and I hadnt rejections for that reason...
The same image has been just accepted in SS:

The Samsung phones fall under Design Patents, in addition to the regular trademark/logo stuff.

All Samsung cellular phones have design patents on them. Here are some example patents:
