Back in the early 2000’s, there was this contest between cell phone manufacturers to produce the world’s smallest cell phone. And by far, the smallest cell phone I have ever used was the Nokia 8810. Honestly, I was irked by it because of its small keypad and small screen. But, it was hot during its hey days so I got used to it. Even bought tons of Nokia accessories, especially cell phone cases with specialized designs.
And then, camera phones came. These mobile phones require bigger screen for the user to clearly see the pictures. So the age of the smallest phone and small cell phone accessories ended with the Nokia 8810 as the victor, or so I thought.
The Xun Chi 138 mobile phone from China has grabbed the title from Nokia 8810. But far from being the smallest mobile phone in the planet (a bit bigger than the average AA battery and weighing 55 grams), the Xun Chi 138 mobile phone has a lot of kicks inside its small package. It has a 1.3 mega pixel camera, touchscreen, an MP3 player, and a web browser.
But the price will really turn your head in disgust; a whooping $235.00. They have got to be joking.
