Despite our love of all things app, there are times when we don’t need notifications about post likes, new images or emails. The Zanco tiny t1 wants to take you back to the age of flip phones and T9 text entry with what they’re calling the “world’s smallest mobile phone.” The tiny t1 is so small it easily fits in the palm of your hand or the coin/Zippo pocket on your favorite pair of jeans, which also means it’s tiny enough for bags, backpacks, pouches, purses or pretty much anywhere else. And since it only weighs 13 grams, it’s light enough to carry anywhere. So why would you want a phone that can only make calls and text? It’s great for quite a few situations. When you’re working out. When you don’t want to worry about losing your phone or having it stolen. When you want to go off the grid except for emergencies. The only issue with the little phone that could is that it only works on the 2G network, so make sure you still have 2G available in your area.
