World's Slimmest Phone

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the even-easier-to-lose dept.

moto writes "ThinkCE has some news of the world's slimmest phone. From the article: 'Slimmer than a stick insect with the runs, the new world's thinnest phone comes in the shape of the EV-K100 handset, an ultra-thin gizmo made by Korean cell phone makers KTF Technologies. Measuring a wafer-thin 7.9-millimeters, the EV-K100 grabs the "world's slimmest" crown from local rivals VK, whose VK2010 and VK2100 phones measured up at a comparatively lardy, pie-scoffing 8.8mm (with Motorola's RAZR being a positively obese 14.5-mm thick).'"

    Articles of the genre 'World's blankiest blank' are not news.

    They're the basis of a bad Fox special but they certainly aren't newsworthy.

    And to make this post even more Futurama oriented:

    Leela: What's wrong Amy? Did you swallow your cell phone again?

    You may laugh but I think we're coming up on that being a lawsuit waiting to happen.

    We're consumers; we like our cars huge, our service fast and our cell phones microscopic.

      Not quiet the same, but it's already happened.
      Though, from other articles, it sounds like it just might have been justifiable as it was being "overused" at the time.

    Ok, I call BS on this article. I saw a MUCH smaller phone on Zoolander, and that was several years ago!

    Those male models get EVERYTHING.... :(
