Once again, Barcelona played host to the GSMA’s industry-leading event, Mobile World Congress. This year, attendees were treated to a wealth of learning and networking opportunities; product offerings and announcements; inspiration and innovation. Approximately 1,300 companies showcased their organizations through exhibition and hospitality space across eight halls at Fira Barcelona. modu, for the 3^rd year, attended the event with presence at the Main Avenue. The Hospitality Suite was busy with many visitors who were excited to hear and see for the first time the company’s next generation device.

This development is performed using sub-contractors with vast experience in developing mobile phones. Despite the tiny size, the 3.5G modu phone will include a touch screen with a unique user interface, advanced features like GPS, FM radio, fast browsing and support for multimedia applications and e-mails. modu is currently in advanced discussions about the 3.5G modu phone with different leading operators worldwide.

Some say that there wasn’t enough buzz during its launch in the Philippines last month so we’re here to make sure you don’t miss out!

If you’re in the Philippines, you can now purchase your modu phone with a Globe Tattoo Prepaid Kit. Plus, get freebies all around because it comes with one (1) free modu express jacket and a one-year supply of ImmortalTxt, a new offer from Globe Tattoo.

For one whole year, twice a week you will be given free text allocations from Globe Tattoo: 50 free texts to other Globe or TM users, and 10 texts to other networks.

A case in point is modu’s recent expansion to the Philippines where we took part at a Gary V concert.

Haven’t hear of Gary V yet? We admit, neither did we until recently.  Gary Valenciano or Gary V is a Filipino musician. His energetic dance moves also garnered him the nickname “Mr. Pure Energy” He has released 26 albums, and won the Awit Award for “Best Male Performer” 11 times. Gary gave an awesome performance.

Watch the man in action!

If you attended the concert, post your thoughts and comments in the box bellow!

modu’s recent soft launch took off without a hitch and we’re now in full swing on international shores. We’re excited to announce that Globe Telecom, the second largest telecommunications company in the Philippines will be selling the modu device through Lynk Communications.

Media folks and bloggers were on scene and in fashion at Paul Smith in Greenbelt 5, to witness the launch and give their initial thoughts on the modu / fashion mix. We’re really glad you made it!

Here’s what Lauren from ukaymanila.com had to say about modu. “What I like about the modu is that the bare unit is pared down to the most basic mobile phone features – you can call text, listen to music, and use its 2GB internal memory as a storage device.”

Another great post comes from Liz over on projectvanity.i.ph who said. “I think someone was thinking of me in making the modu.”

New to the whole modu concept? modu is touted as the world’s lightest fully-functional phone by the Guinness Book of World Records; however device is more than just merely record-breaking. Unlike the average mobile phone, which comes with a standard feature set, the modu’s looks and features can be completely customized according to your needs, preferences, and lifestyle.

Once you’ve unboxed modu, you can connect it straight to your pc and load it up with your own media, so that you can show it off to your friends with all the interesting pics and music already on it.

Starting September 18, the modu phone will be made available exclusively from Globe for as low as P7,999 with a Globe Tattoo prepaid kit. Each prepaid kit comes with one free modu express jacket and a year’s supply of immortaltxt. You can also avail of the modu phone through Globe’s post-paid plans. If you get the P500 plan the modu will cost you P7,999, but the modu comes for free if you get a Plan 1200 or higher.

If you were lucky enough to get your very own modu, we’re going to be looking forward to your feedback. As always, we’re here to assist in any way we can. Feel free to reach out to us via the blog or by emailing us directly.

Of course, this is just the beginning with more modu and modu jackets being available soon in a wide range of styles, through different parts of the world such as Europe, South America and Southeast Asia.
