Same, on all my devices. And I'm in the US.

> READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY > Allows the app to access the phone features of the device. An app with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like. ?!! It also requires READ SENSITIVE LOG DATA .
On second thought: maybe Android's permissions are broken and too generic. An app has a legit reason to want to know whether a call is active (to shut off playback), but the permission gives the app other abilities that they can abuse, like device serial number and phone number.
I would imagine that it's a useful feature, and that many more people would complain if it was absent.
