mobile | vibrate across floor | how? HELP ASAP :-)

[SirRon]

I'd suggest to key almost every frame as it goes up and down. I don't know how realistic you'd like it to be, if that's the case then video a phone vibrating as reference and try to match the movement. You'll still have to key every frame.

I agree with SirRon, with a bit more to add. I've found when keying vibration, its easier to adjust and manage if you do it in layers. In this instance, I would have a control layer between the phone and the main phone ctrl, like:
Phone_CTRL
--->Phone_Vib_CTRL
------>Phone_Mesh

Then you'd animate the sliding motion with the phone_ctrl, then the vibration with the Vib ctrl. This breaks up the keys for you an allows another layer of adjustments should you need it.
