At GSMA World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Modu shows off four new jackets for its modular cell phone. Check them out in our slide show.
Kent German
Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
The Modu phone is tiny--smaller than a credit card, in fact--but it offers 2GB, Bluetooth, a new user interface, and the ability to make calls. But once you slip it into one of the following jackets, it takes on a whole new persona.
2 of 7 Modu
Modu classic jacket
The classic jacket offers a slider design in basic black. One of the simpler jackets, it is designed for basic communication.
3 of 7 Modu
Modu street-art jacket
The street-art jacket is designed for the music lover. It has stereo speakers and dedicated music controls. As you can see, it's loud in more ways than one.
4 of 7 Modu
Modu night jacket
The night jacket has a quirky, angled design with an abstract keypad, flashing lights, night mode imaging, and a unique user interface.
5 of 7 Modu
Modu express jacket
The express jacket is all about design. Rather than bringing new features, it simply offers colorful designs. Here it is with a swirled rainbow effect.
