It´s Official: modu is the World´s Lightest Mobile Phone



    The Guinness World Record(TM) for the world´s lightest mobile
    phone has been awarded to modu for its tiny and sophisticated mobile
    phone.

    modu was awarded this prestigious honour after careful
    consideration by the Guinness World Records(TM) judges, who declared
    that: "The lightest mobile phone is the modu, which weighs 40.1 g
    (1.41 oz)." Guinness World Records(TM) added: "modu´s dimensions are
    72.1 mm (2.8 inches) x 37.6 mm (1.4 inches) x 7.8 mm (0.3 inches)."

    modu launched its innovative mobile phone at the Mobile World
    Congress (MWC) event, held in Barcelona, Spain in February 2008. modu
    is the world´s first modular mobile phone, supported by a variety of
    ecosystem partners. At the heart of the ecosystem is modu - a tiny,
    sleek mobile phone that is fully functional and easy to use. modu can
    be slipped into a wide variety of modu jackets - stylishly designed
    phone enclosures and modu mates - modu-enabled consumer electronic
    products. modu´s ecosystem offers boundless possibilities in a simple
    and affordable way.

    Throughout the design process of modu, the emphasis has been on
    keeping the phone small, light and compact in order that modu´s
    innovative approach could be realized. The result is a phone that is
    not only miniature, but also superbly designed and minimalist, whilst
    offering all the functions and capabilities of a normal-sized handset.

    Zack Weisfeld, modu´s VP Marketing, said: "The Guinness World
    Record(TM) is a great achievement for a team that has worked
    tirelessly to take modu from the drawing board to producing full
    working devices in less than a year. From the outset, modu´s tiny
    dimensions and super light weight have been fundamental to delivering
    the disruptive, modular communication concept that modu embodies.

    "With modu, the mobile phone can now be added to the list of
    ´invisible´ items that people carry with them wherever they go, such
    as a bunch of keys, their wallet and their watch."

    "modu has already made a huge impact since its launch at MWC, with
    mobile network operators, consumer electronics manufacturers and other
    potential partners all attracted by our revolutionary approach."
