Tuesday saw Japan’s largest mobile phone provider, NTT Docomo, unveil what the company is claiming to be the world’s smallest internet-capable mobile phone. The 1.9 cm thick Premini, is a measly 9 cm long and 3.9 cm wide. And weighs in at a waif-like 69g. This new model is said to be aimed at males in their 20’s and 30’s, who want a phone with just the minimum of functions. With minimum possibly meaning everything except a camera!
Whilst the last few years have seen mobile phones increase in size to accommodate their ever expanding range of functions, recently a few basic models similar to the Premini have been released. What they lack in functions, they make up for in size and coolness. Like AU’s decidedly stylish infobar phone.

Ah! But we’ve become to comptorble with our cameras! Thell never sell I tell you!
Though quite honstly those do look extreamly cool and and…hey Lee do know where I can one?
Lee says
They are pretty cool aren’t they? I’m looking to change my mobile, but I’m with Vodafone and not Docomo. And I’m sad to say that Vodafone’s designs are just not as cool.
When I got my first camera phone, I used it a lot. But now, very rarely. For a smaller handset I’d go without one for sure.
