  • help ! my modu doesnt start anymore after i charged it with the usb cable on my laptop

  • I have this phone for 10 months now. I love it. I'd call it "hte perfect phone for anybody who doesn't realy want to carry a phone but needs to carry one" ;-) There's a new small phone called "Willcom WX03A". Size is comparable, wheight the same, but it got full keys, but surely will be more expensive

  • i am in jamaica and just recieve a modu phone from england but all it keep doimg is loading.i dont know what to do with it anyymore...it load and load untill the battery died all over again...hellllp.i love the phone,people cant believe its a phone cuz its so neat and thing

  • how many phone contacts memory? realtime battery talk time??

  • my modu keep on restarting what should i do?

  • how can i make sure that my modu is already full-charged? is it the battery display on the phone, that when its not making any movement and already full? or just remove it from charging after 2hrs? coz you dont want to over-charge it and let the battery be damaged? right? thank you.

  • I've had this phone for a couple months now, but just recently filled up my SMS inbox (not sure how many since it doesn't give a count). I'm sorta disappointed that I'm not able to organize or transfer SMS messages into folders. I hardly use its 2gb capacity, it's a shame that I can't use some of that space to expand my inbox capacity. Also--the PC suite software only seems to backup "contacts and options settings" when you do a backup. There is NO WAY to back-up, save, or manage SMS messages (this is an important feature to me). Your only option is to delete messages. I am using modu PC Suite version 1.1.3.0 that came with the installation CD. If my issues with SMS management or backups have been resolved with a latter version, PLEASE share a download link for it please. I have been unable to find any software updates online since the makers have gone out of business & no longer providing support for this product. Thanks in advance! @Ags -- yes it is available unlocked (but some are carrier locked). I bought mine on ebay, but I'm sure there are other retailers who are selling it online.

  • where can i find the games?? i own the phone for close to a year now and i have no idea where they are. the phone is very good the basic things you need. the concept great, and everybody looks at you and doesn't believe it is a phone!!

  • I own the modu phone, close to a year now. is a very good phone the basic stuff. in the specifications it says that there are games, * where are they *??? thank you

  • Will it work in Canada? IF so, where can I buy one? Is it available unlocked? Thanks

  • how did you solve them i have same problem and the media player wont start

  • sir how do solve your problem with your modu? you said that u resolve it.. we have the same issue with modu..tnx

  • does anybody know if you can get a extended life battery for the modu? it almost seems like you can plug a battery pack onto the bottom of the phone, where the usb charges the internal battery.

  • You wrote: 1. Cons: the sound it is not very clear. 2. It restarts itself from time to time. I came across the same problems, but was able to solve them: 1. Lower call volume by about 2 marks (speaker cannot handle max volume) 2. Insert sim card deeper (not restarting anymore). I use black version (without jacket). In my opinion: Design: + so small, you can put it anywhere. + all metal solid case. + looks great (not like a phone actually :)) Display: + great viewing angles + good resolution (and sharpness) - low visibility in sunlight - little greenish Functionality: + simple, intuitive menu + all basic functions i need: sms, calendar, alarm, mp3, gallery (which i don't need :)) + 1.7 GB storage + USB connection (and charging from laptop) + don't need application to manage files (mp3, gallery...) - slow sms typing [could be probably faster if you use one of supported languages [dictionary]: english, russian, romanian, portuguese, spanish] Performance: + good call quality [both ends] (perfect with attached headset) + good music (mp3) sound quality + fast USB data transfer - low battery life (~1-2 days) [not a problem if you use computer every day] Conclusion: I'm fully satisfied. I got more than I expected.

  • I'm a new user, i've just got the modu handset metallic. I quite happy because it is what i wanted: tiny phone, calls and sms. I need no more. As extra features we've got a sort of calendar reminders and bluetooth, also alarm. The text input for sms is quicker than expected for this phone, however, when you need to dial new phone numbers (not from sim), you really miss a full keypad, since the modu way makes it a bit slow for quickly phone calls. I don't use the mp3 feature but it is simple, don't ask too many options. Cons: the sound it is not very clear. It restarts itself from time to time. So far i have not found the way to pair the phone with the handsfree. The ring volume is a bit low for outdoors or noise indoors, so it is easy to miss some calls. In resume, if you need the phone for work purposes or need to stay connected all the time or, usually, talk on the phone all the time and want to take advantage of some of your carrier voice plans, this is not your phone; but if you are not a heavy phone user it is a good option as it will pass unnoticed in your pocket.

  • "Night Jacket". I own it and it has vibration.

  • Got MODU! Nice little phone. However, the PC Suite that comes with it, is very limited in features. Is there anything I can replace that software with?

  • No idea - Does anyone know how to do a hard reset ?

  • Tried that many times and of no use - looks like it is bricked :( That is like 150 USD down the drain

  • how do you dial the numbers or text??? : ( ?

  • After successful pin entry MODU restarts and asks again the pin. Any advices? Hard reset? Software reload?

  • Hi dee! I am very interested in this. But I read the article in which there is no vibration mode such as below link. Is there really vibration mode without jacket? Thanks in advance.

  • right, just double checked and of course there's both phone memory and sim as contact saving options, as usual.. only - can't find the option to copy sim contacts to phone memory anywhere? maybe thought the modu pc suite? currently i just have the setting on display both SIM and phone contacts.. but phone contacts stays empty

  • misread you question before, sorry aren't contacts saved only on the sim in the modu? whenever a new number calls in you can save it to your sim contacts, but if you don't, its not saved to the phone memory i think (not 100% sure)

  • LOL. since when dyou need a camera to display stored photos from your phone memory? frame displays of course files previously transfered from PC

  • wrong! its a real good phone, also a tiny mp3

  • missed calls show even when not stored contacts. and contacts show as name and number, the usual way. in any case, just to to settings and configure the way you want it..

  • lol. i got the sony ericsson w995, and the nokia 5630 which is a neat tiny smartphone. both music phones. i fell ikn love with the mody two days ago the second i saw it, bought two of them and now the nokia's back in the closet - using the w995 as main phone (cause its 3g) and the modu as secondary phone.its a great combo

  • yup there is vibration mode

  • odd. did you try a hard reset? you juust press the power (red) button for 8 secs.

  • sure you can use it with no jacket- i do it all the time. that's why they supplied the nigty little carry case along with it.

  • can any1 explain me , dat can v use modu phone without jacket?..while sending mms...or fot the purpose of 3g net connection?..plz reply...

  • I bought the phone yesterday and everything was great. I left it for charging and in the morning it started acting up It starts of with the "Modu Loading" screen and then reboots itself again and again. That is where it is stuck There are no forums or help available on the website. Googling did not help Appreciate any tips. Thanks

  • hi guys ! is there vibration in modu phone ?

  • Hi guys, Wow, finaly MODU on GSMARENA. I was already thinking its never gonna happen. Im glad. Actually i havent been waiting so long for any other gadget ever. Maybe, as i see some people have something bad to say. Maybe its because of a lack of patience. Im agree it took a while. But this is still perfect mobile for what i need from an mobile phone. It can call and it is SMALL and it is not ugly. Thats only think i need from a mobile phone. And this one is even stylish and can play music for me. Maybe even without a jacket. And if i ever need something else from my phone there are some additional features that i can add with a jacket. Althou ive just bought a nice phone to. With which im happy. I was thinking ohh if only iPhone was littlebit smaller and half the price i would maybe buy it. Then the other day i wrote "cheap iphone replacement" in google and got Nokia Xpress Music 5800. I was like wow, wonderfull thats exactly what i need. So i bought one, second hand. So i got cheap a nice phone. And ohh, the modu isnt expensive eather. Thats actually nice. This Nokia is perfect for me atm. But this modu i was waiting so long for. I like that its small and stylish and it can call. Actually i alweys liked Nokias. But the LG Neon last one i had was really not that good of a phone. Shuts randomly down etc.. Im thinkig even im happy with my Nokia Xpress Music 5800. THat even have free GPS. For future car usage maybe. ANd WiFi is here to. I still want this MODU so much! :) I thing im going to get one. Maybe as next phone. Be well guys, Nikolai

  • can you actally use the phone without any jacket? i want the the phone without any jacket >.

  • The modu phone has many features: Modu Jacket Night, Modu Jacket Sport, Modu Mini Jacket Silver, Modu Mini Jacket Blue, Modu Mini Jacket Pink and of curse Modu Rama foto Red

  • you buy at any globe business center or maybe to lynk communication inc. the official distributor of modu

  • LMAO this phone has an AMOLED screen xD

  • Hi all, 1st of all im a new owner of MODU, and my dilema is about how much should stay in stand by my MODU?, becouse i need to recharge every night becouse he dont make it over the next day. So my MODU stay charge only a day, this mean almost 24 hours. plz reply me at [email protected]

  • where can i buy extra jacket?

  • I just got this. Only SIM contacts show up on missed calls and texts. Phone memory contacts appear as numbers. Anyone know how to change this?

  • the night jacket has camera.

  • No camera... ugly jackets (except sport and frame) How do you use the photo frame jacket if the phone has no camera ?!? Rubish ?!?

  • Rubish...is an MP3 not a phone..

  • You can already buy online from MobiCity. I have one now and it is very tiny and cute and the photo frame jacket is the best.

  • Modu Phone is available in the Philippines to Globe Bsuiness Centers, it is a cool and unique Phone.. I like it so Much!!!

  • first....wow we need a review
