World's lightest phone to be launched in RP

The modu phone, recognized by the Guiness Book of World Records as the lightest fully-functional phone in the world, is set to be launched in the Philippines.

Second-largest telecommunications firm Globe Telecom Inc. said it has sealed a partnership with modu Ltd. to offer the modu phone in the country through its exclusive local distributor, Lynk Communications.

According to Globe, the Philippines is among the first countries where such a phone will be available.

"We are confident this leading-edge partnership will bring new value to a market that continues to grow in sophistication and discerning tastes," Globe President and Chief Executive Officer Ernest Cu said in a statement.

The modu phone, which only weighs 1.5 ounces, has a music player, a mass storage device, and 2 gigabytes of internal memory. It also has interchangeable modu jackets, or phone enclosures which can instantly change the look and style of the handset.

"Modu has shown an astute understanding of what makes our customers tick," Cu said.

Founded in 2007 by Dov Moran, modu is headquartered in Israel, with offices in Croatia and South Korea. Moran is the inventor of the USB flash drive (DiskonKey).
