Modu - World’s lightest smallest mobile phone set Guinness World Record
Modu has finally released its Modu 1 handset in the UK, a device which is
recognised by Guinness World Records as the lightest phone on the planet.
After years of it being fashionable to have the smallest cellphone possible, the
recent trend has been more for ever-larger touchscreen handsets. But one
company is bucking that trend with what it calls the world’s smallest phone.
The Israeli-made Modu 1 earned accreditation for that claim from Guinness
World Records in 2008. It’s now commercially available, making its major
market debut in the United Kingdom.
The handset is 71.1 x 37.6 x 7.8 mm (2.8 x 1.5 x 0.3 inches) and weighs 43g.
To put that into context, it’s roughly the size of a stack of 10 credit cards and
actually weighs slightly less.
The size is the only real selling point. It does have several features which are
impressive given its size, such as 2GB of on-board storage and an MP3 player,
but most of its features are things you’d expect from even the cheapest phone.
There’s a 1.3 inch screen, which takes up about 40% of the front of the handset.
The Modu 1, however, isn’t cheap. It’s sold SIM-free and unlocked and launches
at £129.99 (a hair under US$200). There are also a range of clip-on decorative
jackets which start at around £30 ($50).

It’s tough to see why anyone would actually want to buy one of these. The best I
can come up with is that it might do for somebody who is happy enough with
their Wi-Fi availability to get an iPod touch rather than an iPhone, but still wants
basic phone capabilities. Still, two hundred bucks is a lot of money to save a few
centimeters of pocket space.

On the edge of the Arabian Desert, Petra was the glittering capital of the Nabataean empire of King Aretas IV (9 B.C. to
40 A.D.). Masters of water technology, the Nabataeans provided their city with great tunnel constructions and water
chambers. A theater, modelled on Greek-Roman prototypes, had space for an audience of 4,000. Today, the Palace
Tombs of Petra, with the 42-meter-high Hellenistic temple facade on the El-Deir Monastery, are impressive examples of
Middle Eastern culture.
