You don’t need to spend a lot of time with the Modu phone to realize if it’s for you or not. I guess it all boils down to how it fits with your lifestyle.
The first time I saw the Modu, I was a bit confused how one could comfortably use this phone with that very sparse physical keys.
Turns out the phone gives you a virtual alphanumeric keypad for typing a message (reminds me of the virtual keyboard of PSP, only the Modu has alphanumeric).
While most phones in the market battle it out to be your primary mobile handset, the Modu phone is alone for the #2 spot. In the Philippines, a significant chunk of mobile users have a second phone which they use for simple but specific purpose — second phone could be the office phone for business and client contacts; or is reserved for a specific person or a small personal group of contacts.
The Modu is perfect for that — making calls and sending SMS. Instead of getting a bigger, heavier or more expensive secondary phone, the Modu gets it done and doesn’t add much weight on your pocket.
Of course, if you want to add some variety, they also come with numerous add-on cases or jackets. Just slip it in a jacket and the phone is completely transformed into a new one. Check out some of these colorful jackets for the Modu.
It’s like the Nokia 1100, only way more fashion-friendly. And did I mention it’s the world’s lightest mobile phone? It’s also the slimmest at just 7.8mm thin. At the very least, it’s a conversation piece.
The Modu phone is by no means not your regular feature phone but rather a fashion phone. So it’s either you like it or you don’t. I just happen to like it.
Thanks for your article. I also feel that laptop computers have grown to be more and more popular nowadays, and now tend to be the only sort of computer found in a household. It is because at the same time that they are becoming more and more reasonably priced, their working power is growing to the point where there’re as highly effective as pc’s out of just a few in years past.

I am in Malaysia and got one of Globe Modu to use as a second phone. Can this phone be unlocked to use other sim.
Thanks
does anyone know how to unlock this? i want to use when i go abroad..
my modu phone often appears it doesnt have a signal, but i can still text and call though. I was wondering if fellow owners of modu phone expirience the same?
I have a modu phone but i dont know if how will i find more jackets… where could i buy them??
I tried that Modu phone. I tell you its one lousy phone! Texting with it takes forever!
Just bought the Cherry P1 light and thin… just a basic phone for Php999
bought this phone from globe but had to return it cause we can’t get the bluetooth and usb connectivity to work :(
have you tried its bluetooth and usb sir? did it work?
Isa to sa mga pinagpipilian ko dati for secondary phone but I think it’s a little to pricey. I just bought Cherry Mobiles D10 worth 2k. Ok naman siya, dual sim na. Pero plano ko pa rin buy Modu kung sakaling bumagsak na presyo.
Does anyone know how to unlock the modu phone to use another SIM card in it?
the jacket possibilities are endless.. but i dunno if they’re available here in the philippines. saw this video on youtube – a cnn review of modu.
By the way how many JACKETS TO CHOOSE FROM? :)
What a cute little phone to have? Kao ang mahal eh…. :(
Another phone to give away (lose) to the taxi driver hahaha now that is a prize if ever
