Neo 808i, the smallest fully-featured phone ever?

Neo 808iThere are some records you have to think aren’t really worth the winning. It’s something UK/Dubai niche mobile designer Neo seems to have experienced with its tiny Neo 808i phone. It claims the 41 x 72 x 14mm, 90g device is the smallest fully-featured phone in the world.
It’s certainly tiny but with GPRS, a MicroSD slot, FM radio, video and audio recorder, 1.2MP camera, Bluetooth, USB as well as web browsing and applications such as calculator, image editor, currency and weight/length converter, and an eBook reader - all viewable on the 26 by 21mm screen - there may just be too much packed into a too small volume for any of it to really work well.
In fact just making the 808i was a trial with special machines required to make the tooling to make the aluminium cased phone.
The 808i comes in his’ red/black and her’s pink/grey colour schemes and was released in Dubai in late 2007.
