Ok, so I've got an andoid phone with a bunch of icons up the top, looks like app notifications go on the left, system icons go on the right.

Most of the system icons seem reasonably intuitive, service, 3g, wireless etc.

I've recently gotten a new one that looks like a phone being tilted / shaken and have absolutely no idea what it means.

Is there a reference site where I can look this thing up?

That means your phone is in vibration only mode. If you turn the ringer volume down to 0, your phone will be in silent mode. Then if you press down on the volume rocker once more, it will go to vibration mode. You can also toggle it by long pressing the power button, or somewhere in the settings menu, of course.

If you didn't get a paper owner's manual with your phone, then you can probably find it on the manufacturer's website.
