For some reason. Young females love the smallest and brightest cell phones they can find. Where as most guys try to find teh cell phones with the most features. Well this time its for the ladies out there. From many comercials you see Cingular making a big deal of their Pantech C300 cellphone. Just for beaing the smallest flip phone available. No real surprise since Pantech also had the smallest cell phone on the market about 3 years ago (no flip). Well Pantech just got beat (maybe a 10th of an inch). And this little gem got features.

I just sorta figured that there was some unwritten rule among cellphone manufacturers that loosely said something to the effect of "don't make a phone much smaller than a Pantech C300." Don't get us wrong, I never doubted that the wonders of modern electronic miniaturization could produce a phone the size of a Bluetooth headset, but we're figuring you're likely to mistake it for a variety of other, far more disposable objects in your pocket -- coins, lighters, and the like -- not to mention the obvious usability concerns. Nevertheless, the Xun Chi 138 forges ahead with the submicronic form factor, trading a traditional keypad for a touch sensitive display with handwriting recognition while still managing to pack in USB connectivity, an MP3 player with 121MB of storage, and what I think is a VGA cam (despite the clever "1.3 MEGA PLIXS" label). On the downside, the handset tops out with lowly GPRS, but then again, we can't imagine consuming terribly much data with a display the size of our thumbnail.
