When Motorola pushed out its uber popular RAZR phone it set the bar for how thin a phone could go. Well it seems a small Korean manufacturer by the name of VK wishes to claim the crown of thinnest phone evAr with VK2000.
The phone is a sick 8.8mm thick and weighs in at a whopping 48g (/sarcasm). What seals the deal for it being one of the hottest gadgets for the holiday season is the fact they are pricing it under $100. No word on whether or not this will hit stateside, but you can anticipate it happening sooner or later once word spreads.
So what is it with trying to get the world’s smallest/thinnest phone? I think they are cool, but I also don’t wish to lose something as tiny as a business card yet cost 3000x more. I currently use the Motorola A630 and am very happy with it’s size and thickness. Maybe they will just create disposable phones one day as that would seem to make life a bit easier.

Crikey, that is small and it looks good too. The nano came to mind when looking at it. The way they have packed so much into the nano is sure to set a new standard for other manufacturers. Now VK have done the same for mobile phones. Just hope the rest of the world gets to use it.

samsung claims that if you bear in mind the Samsung E888 with the slide cover closed… they own the record :s
Anyway.. when will it be enough and become unusable phones?
