Meet the modu™ phone: The lightest fashion heavy-hitter

The world's lightest phone is finally here in the Philippines, and if you see this phone in the palm of your hands, it is small and with fun and fashionable design. Its funny that I'm using this pink jacket for my modu, at first I thought it was blue or purple, but it was pink. I just used it and will post my phone review soon.



Ever been a victim of cellphone shame? Are you often embarrassed to pull out a dated device from your lipstick-red Kate Spade Bow Mirra clutch? Or simply mortified to show your mammoth mobile when hanging with the club crowd at Distillery? Really, how chic can you be with a cellphone clunker? Nothing kills your cool factor quicker than a cumbersome, outdated mobile.

To end your angst, Globe Tattoo, the hot new mobile brand from Globe Telecom, brings another first to Filipino cellphone fans with the upcoming launch of the new modu™ phone, available only from Globe. The modu™ phone is the world’s lightest phone that also happens to be one of the most compact, sleekest gadgets ever to fit in the palm of your hand. modu, the manufacturer of this diminutive device, and Globe, the country’s innovation leader, have teamed up for the exclusive first-time ever entry of this cool new mobile, sure to become the newest must-have for the hyper-connected fashion fanatic.

Recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records™ as the world’s lightest fully-functional phone, weighing in at a spare 1.5 oz., the modu™ phone features a dynamic user interface and a unique seven-key keypad that’ll make you do a double take when you see it. You can also choose whether you want your modu™ in hot pink, metallic blue, pearl white or classic black.

With the modu™ phone, the communications experience is all-new, with the modu™ jackets, fashionable phone enclosures which you can slide on to give the phone its full featured keypad. You can customize the look and features of your modu™ phone while still retaining the incredibly small size. Take your pick from 3 curve-hugging modu™ mini jackets available in minimalist metallic hues of silver, blue and pink; 5 modu™ express jackets in hot new skins like red bamboo, graffiti, and artsy floral; and one sexy new modu™ express jacket exclusively designed for Globe which you wont find anywhere else in the world, destined to become the new Hermes Birkin, the fashionistas’ Holy Grail.

modu users can be chic on the cheap, because starting September 18, the modu™ phone is available for as low as P 7,999 via Globe Tattoo prepaid kit. As if all that weren’t sweet enough, each prepaid phone kit also comes with one free modu™ express jacket, plus a year’s supply of Immortaltxt, the newest offer from Globe Tattoo that’s got all the cool kids buzzing.
