Modu W (a.k.a. T-Phone) scores FCC approval

Modu's tiny, Android-based T-Phone still hasn't made much of a public showing outside of a rare in the wild appearance last month, but it has now finally turned up at the FCC, which hopefully means its getting closer to a release. Judging from the manual that the FCC has kindly provided, it looks like the phone is now called the Modu W, but complete specs are otherwise still a bit hard to come by. It is presumably still hanging onto its title of the world's lightest touchscreen phone, however, and there's still a curious lack of any mention of 3G capabilities -- previous reports have suggested data use would be WiFi-only. Here's hoping that's not the case, but it looks like we're going to have to wait for Modu to get official with this thing to know for sure.

@KingpinEX
See this is one of the things that piss me off about android. these crap ass phones. why do you need mid-ranged low-end smart phones?!

you still have to pay the smartphone data package so whats the point of this?

@iWebDroidBerry
You do not have to pay the data plan if you buy the phone unlocked. This is what I do, and my monthly bill is very cheap as all I need are a few hundred minutes. Anytime I need to connect my phone to the internet there is almost always Wi-Fi available.

That phone is so small, it's win.

Kill it with fire!

[One Love Posted Aug 16th 2010 4:49PM]

Modu "Waka" T-Phone sounds better.

[Tizzle93 Posted Aug 16th 2010 3:34PM]

Ew

[hamoor Posted Aug 16th 2010 3:42PM]

oh look!!
its the droid's turd

[Bearxor Posted Aug 16th 2010 3:52PM]

You know, I could see the market for a low-end smartphone with wifi only data. I know quite a few people who love their droids and iPhones but hate the monthly data rate for something they don't end up using.

These days you can't get a smartphone without being mandated to add the data plan. A wifi only device would certainly solve that problem.

I don't suspect they'd sell a whole lot, but it could have a market.

Is this the new T-Mobile phone we've been waiting for?!

[thebigbread Posted Aug 16th 2010 5:54PM]

@bearxor

I could see the iphone without data, but the droid updates several accounts and downloads system updates automatically. Not to mention wifi on the droid isn't that good. Droid without data plan = ferrari with a 4cyl economy car engine.

I want to see T-Pain rocking the T-Phone.

[NYNY Posted Aug 16th 2010 5:54PM]

Should have been called the Modu Y. Y try?

[Wolfticket Posted Aug 16th 2010 6:01PM]

I bet at some of the people that are saying this is crap will be at least slightly impressed when they see it in some sort of context and see just how small it is.
It really is tiny.

[acedrums Posted Aug 16th 2010 11:34PM]

Where and when can I get one?

[diapple Posted Aug 17th 2010 11:21AM]

This is not a phone, there is no sim card slot in it, if you go to fcc, and look at all description, you will find that it's not a phone... it's sad
