You probably didn't fry anything. The charge was most likely dissipated throughout the metal bezel.

Yup^ I'm thinkin' the dang TV is not properly grounded and it is finding a ground through you. Next time it happens, unplug the A/V cable from the phone and touch that and see if you get zapped.
il probably have to wait until next week to try it - u see cell phones are banned here and i havent yet got the courage to tell them that its technically a computer, what with nokia still selling it as a phone.

if u had a proper shock u wouldnt even want to touch that tv again. if there was a fault with the tv it would short bettween live and neutral. a fuse would go or breaker would trip and u wudnt even be able to use the tv. sound like a static shock to me.... some appliances are double insulated so there is no need for an earth and no live parts are exposed!!
