Chinese man builds world's largest cell phone

World's largest cell phoneFrom Ananova:

A Chinese man is hoping to get in the record books after creating what he claims is the world's largest working mobile phone.

Mr Tan, of Songyuan city, says his 3ft high phone, which weighs 48lbs, is an exact copy of his own phone - but 620 times bigger.

A local journalist tested the phone by making calls and sending text messages and pronounced it completely functional, reports City News.

Tan says it has all the functions of a normal phone, with a built-in camera and internet access but has to be plugged into the mains as he hasn't managed to build a big enough battery.


Apparently, the only thing the phone is missing right now is the vibration feature. After 6 months of hard work and disturbing the neighbours and the family, no wonder he pissed off his wife.
