modu launched its 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 mobile phone that is fully functional and easy to use. modu can be slipped into a wide variety of modu jackets - phone enclosures and modu mates – modu-enabled consumer electronic products.

modu was awarded this prestigious honour after careful consideration by the Guinness World Records judges, who declared that: “The lightest mobile phone is the modu, which weighs 40.1 g (1.41 oz).” Guinness World Records™ 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).”

Zack Weisfeld, modu’s VP Marketing, said: “The Guinness World Record™ 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 the modu embodies.
