lightweight phone

Postby djembi » Sun Jan 27, 2008 10:38 pm

In my pursuit of keeping the weight down on my bike I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on a lightweight phone ( I have to take one with me as this is a caveat on beeing let out)
My current phone is a nokia.

Ps I have fond that only charging the phone up a little saves about 10 grams

Not bad but what does it weigh with say just £5 of credit?

1Gb = +/- 0.01gm, so it's not gonna make much difference in a phone.

On a big Ipod, maybe

What would be interesting is to test whether a human brain which has been erased of all its memory, weighs the same ..

20p for a public phonebox is lighter than any mobile phone on the market, but make sure you polish away any tarnish to save those extra microgrammes.

Better still; reverse the charges.
