The Dark Furie

Meet the xun chi 138, officially the world's smallest phone. And what a phone it is.

Packed into the tiny shell is a 1.3 megapixel camera, class 10 GPRS, 128mb memory and a dedicated music player. Not the very best of feature sets, but impressive for the size.


As the phone is so tiny it doesn't have a conventional keypad. Instead the 260,000 colour screen is touch sensitive and the phone has handwriting recognition software built in. Unfortunately the phone is so small that you really do need to use the handsfree headset to make a call.

Unfortunately the phone can only handle the Chinese character set at the moment. Perhaps later we'll see a version with UMTS capabilities, Bluetooth, expandable memory and several different language versions. Until then, this is an interesting view of the future.
