On Monday we were hinted that Modu was gearing up to launch one or more of their handsets on the Israeli market at some point this week.

Well, it looks like that day has come as Modu has officially been launch on Israel’s Cellcom network. If you aren’t familiar with this handset it basically allows you to put a number of “jackets” on the phone thus changing its functionality and look. What you see above are the “jacket” options currently available.

You can head over to mobo to see how the phone is faring now that it has been released to market.

What’s Modu you dare ask? Well it’s a modular handset jacket system which was unveiled sometime last year. How does it work? Well you basically have your Modu phone which can be inserted into different jackets. Imagine that your current phone case would come with buttons and a screen. Wouldn’t that be cool? That’s how a Modu jacket acts for a Modu phone!

It looks like these Modu phones will be available sometime soon in Southeast Asia. There are no precise release dates and we have no prices yet but we’ll keep you posted.
