I think you'll have to subtract a finite number of decimal points to ever get to 1.

So, assuming that it is not merely a phone that looks like a mouse, or a mouse that looks like a phone (much like the mouses that look like mice or eight balls), I presume that like many hybrid devices, it does neither duty well.

The infinite number of nines will still be less than one. You'll have to remove the decimal point completely to get to one. As in, a decimal point, then a billion nines is still less than one.

The number of nines is irrelevant, it'll always be less than one.
