It has been a while since I have used Photoshop but there are actual lighten and darken tools so that should be pretty easy. I would use the lasso tool to select the phone and then copy to a new layer before doing the adjustments. That way you would only be adjusting the phone and not anything else. If you don't have Photoshop gimp is a free program that would handle this kind of thing pretty easy. And if you meant an actual line on it that is pretty easy to draw. Hope that helps.

The lasso is hard to use, do you think there is a way to make a perfect line selection?

If the magic lasso that MisterGrieves suggested doesn't work, you could try the polygon lasso tool. It will let you select an area by selecting a series of points around it. Just zoom in pretty far and use a ton of points and it will probably come out looking good.
I'm a bit of a control freak so I do it this way far more often than I should. I use a ton of points and it takes forever with most images, but this is a pretty basic shape so it shouldn't be too bad. Just use a lot of points and trace around the two edges you want to be the dark half, like the bottom and left edges or whatever, making a lot of points. You could start at the top left, finish at the bottom right, then connect the start and end points with a big diagonal line through the middle where you want the adjustment to happen.

I think they have made pretty good advances in the selection tools. Use the magic lasso and see if that helps to select. If not we can get into what they call masking.
