Samsung takes an almost perverse pleasure in setting and breaking its own records. While I gave up counting long ago about claims to the thinnest cell phone category; frankly it would be easier to sit in a debate of do or dont cell phones cause cancer, it does make for good news. The Samsung SCH C210 is the latest claimant to the title. The thickness of 5.9mm is thus the current world record.

'The bar-shaped Ultra Edition 5.9 is second-phase model from Samsung’s premium Ultra Edition series, which have been popular sellers around the world. To ensure durability the body is made of magnesium and fiberglass, and the phone also features Bluetooth technology, a 2 mega-pixel camera, an electronic dictionary and an MP3 player.'

Users would do well to recall the video that Samsung is harping emphasising as to how shaving off these millimetres from cell phones really matter.
