That would come under the heading of a virus or trojan I believe. And sure there is no reason a NAT'd cell phone couldnt participate in this type of attack.
It may be a virus or a trojan, but it is still acting as a zombie amd it can still use up all your bandwdith. That was your original contention. If you are arguing that NAT protects the phone itself from DDoS that is also not true. Just send it a bazillion pages, NAT does not help there. NAT is just security by obscurity.
