World's Slimmest Phone

moto writes "ThinkCE has some news of the world's slimmest phone. From the article: 'Slimmer than a stick insect with the runs, the new world's thinnest phone comes in the shape of the EV-K100 handset, an ultra-thin gizmo made by Korean cell phone makers KTF Technologies. Measuring a wafer-thin 7.9-millimeters, the EV-K100 grabs the "world's slimmest" crown from local rivals VK, whose VK2010 and VK2100 phones measured up at a comparatively lardy, pie-scoffing 8.8mm (with Motorola's RAZR being a positively obese 14.5-mm thick).'"

It could have been even smaller...

Imagine how small they could have made it if they didn't try to jam a shitty camera and mp3 player into it...

The one looks to have very similar dimensions to the RAZR, which I already have. I also like that the razr is a flip phone, and also that it's almost entirely metallic. This makes it particularly sturdy and scratch-resistant, which is very important for a phone that fits comfortably in your pocket. There is no information on how sturdy this new phone is.

As annoying as all that is, I've had 2 flip phones, and known many other people who have had them. They always die within a couple years due to some breakage of the joint. You can usually lock non-flip phones so that you don't dial them while in your pocket. Most non-flip phones I've seen had a much stronger screen than flip-phones in order to protect it from being scratched. If you're still paranoid, get a case.

Aren't they the phones that were in "V for Vendetta"? Proof if anyone needed it that product placement works. Consumer culture is devilishly scary, sometimes.
