Modu: World’s Lightest Phone has arrived

At only under 43 grams, the modu phone is the world’s lightest cellphone and it’s now available in the Philippines thru Globe Telecom.

Listed in the Guinness Book of Records, this fully functional phone is just 5 grams shy of the iPod Nano’s weight.

Aside from a music player, it’s also a mass storage device (with 2GB internal memory). If you looked at the keypad, it doesn’t seem to be the regular alphanumeric one we’re familiar with. I’m curious how the navigation works.

Globe will exclusively carry the distribution of the modu phone in the Philippines. No word as to how much these little things will cost.

    umm.. I’m not sure what is the real price of this. This is what it said on the website of Globe:

    “Modu at Modu Prepaid Phone Kit: Php 4,990”

    “Each Modu prepaid kit comes with one (1) Free Express Jacket. Modu Express and Mini Jackets are also sold separately at Php 1,150 only.”

    But I’m still not sure if it is 8,000, 7,000 or 4,990!!!

    I went earlier sa Globe, its only Php7,000 if you are only interested with the unit and not with the line. I like this phone because of one of the jacket, the sport jacket, kasi I could really, really use that pag sa gym or jogging, sadly, hindi pa ino-offer yung jacket na yun. Haaay…

    Only perfect if you are a super basic user who looks for style over features. Just to call, text, listen to music and carry around files not greater than 2gb.
    Perfect for girls who like tiny handbags or boys who carry everything in their pockets.

    If you need bluetooth, camera, wifi, 3g? Not for you.

    Really? At P8,000, that isn’t so bad at all. But I’ll have to wait a bit to hear reviews from those who already has the phone.

    It costs Php8,000 for pre paid and Extension Plan 250. Php7,500 for Plan 500, Php7,000 for plan 800 and free if you subscribe to the higher plans starting at Php1,200.

    Comes with 1 free express jacket.

    Prepaids get free immortaltxt for one year every Tuesday and Thursday.

    I think they should market this to the OFWs. A promo partnered with Globe’s roaming service. Cool tandeem – roaming phone, relatively small, and a media player.

    based on some random google searches it’s priced at $280 modu phone + 2 jackets
