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.
hmmm bigger than the zoolander phone hehe
modu phone looks like a media player.. and not a phone..
Yeahi have to agree with Gadget Wonderland. It looks more like a media player. Just curious how you would text via this thing?
lighter than LG’s watch phone? wow. But the specs?

Hi Yuga,
Let me shed some light on this.
Modu is a modular phone. The primary body is light however you are suppose to add “add-ons” to it which give it additional and different functions. I’m not sure which of these add-ons will be available locally however I’m sure at least a few will be made available as the phone will be useless otherwise.
Check this website out for more information – http://www.modumobile.com/
Thanks!
I’d rather get the LG wristwatch touchscreen phone. It’s much smaller than the modu but the screen may actually be larger than this.
Hm…interesting concept. So this is kind of like the Motorola phone that had a touchpad for keys. You can change key function on the fly depending on what you are doing.
Cute little thing, and Globe will market these pansies. Remember the Sendo? For those born before this, search it. Those were times when cell phones were big clunky things, and this Sendo (of English technology) came forth. It was small by current standards, and heads really turned whenever I flashed it. I bought one from Globe. They were quite pricey too by prevailing standards. To make a long story short, it didn’t last long. However, Globe were such nice people and they tried repairs – sending the contraption to whoever were qualified for the task. Nothing much could be done on the poor thing. But I was not sore, they were such professionals and I just let the thing go and bought another brand.
Unrelated to your post maybe, but oblige this reader. Moral? There aren’t any, save that technology does that to you. And oh, I like these Globe people.
Weird looking but I guess worth a try ü

It says World Lightest Phone not Smallest
Ac0rding t0 gsmarena, it c0mes with s0 called jacket. 3 c0mes in retail package and others are s0ld separately.
scary, it can get picked off your pocket without you knowing it.
Oh…
This entry doubled my saliva production. Globe? That’s good. I wonder how much this will cost. I hope its a cheap-o so I could get one for myself. Modu’s a new company so this might be cheap.
Please check out my blog at warpedopinion.tk. I don’t bring tech news, just wacky journalism!
astig aman itong phone na to…
wow magkano aman kaya..hehehhe…
nagmomorph depende sa jacket..huh!!!
the guys at this website seems to take it seriously and have some info on the modu: http://www.moduonline.com
Yup it’s light but i’m retty sure it’s a challenge to text on those things… maybe for the business traveller, yes. but not your frequent texter.

Hi Yuga,
would you mind to ask what’s the price range of this phone? I wonder if it is now available to the Philippine market. Thank you.

Here’s a video of an interview with the Modu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-NAIA1iyCQ
hmmm seems like the designer is fond of power extreme when s/he was a kid
based on some random google searches it’s priced at $280 modu phone + 2 jackets
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.
For those of you who baby talk with their comments… Grow up man!!! anyway… for the product catalog, click here: http://www.modumobile.com/#/catalog/ This is a cool gadget and would really look good for matons and kikay, “metrosexuals” alike. peace
