As per SumitBahl :
Its a small phone which you can slip into many custom jackets, so, all your information like contacts, emails, notes etc wont be needed to move everytime you change a phone, it can be used independetly as well and in future all phones will have a slot to fit in modu.
Modu’s dimensions are 72.1 mm (2.8 inches) x 37.6 mm (1.4 inches) x 7.8 mm (0.3 inches). Throughout the design process of modu, the emphasis has been on keeping the phone small, light and compact in order that modu’s innovative approach could be realized. The result is a phone that is not only miniature, but also superbly designed and minimalist, whilst offering all the functions and capabilities of a normal-sized handset.

Light but risky at the same time. The heavy phones in my pocket always gives me a feel that I have the phone with me safe, but the Modu if slipped out of it, I won’t even figure it out. Still, the 40gms is a very less one. Not just the weight, but the size of the phone is small enough.
