Calcalist, an Israeli financial newspaper, published that Modu’s employees were asked to deposit their Nokia phones and start using the new modu devices from the actual production line that is used for the launch.
After the many issues with the different operators, Modu will supposedly launch their device with several basic jackets this month in Israeli operator Cellcom.
Modu refused to comment an action which raises suspicion.
We are sure they are very cautious after the previous disappointments but it was said that Modu will do the advertisement for the launch and no TV or newspapers ads were seen yet.

[update 07.14.2009] We got information of “the launch” and here are the full details:

• Next week Modu will have their a closed launch party for Modu employees only.
• The launch will be a soft launch with no advertisement at all on either side Cellcom nor Modu.
• The devices will not be marketed and only a limited number of devices will be introduced as quite as they can do it.
• No information about the pricing of the device.

The information also published on TheMarker which also added that Modu signed a distribution agreement with a Philippine entity for approximately 38$ Million US.

Now that is the meaning of being cautious after you got burnt too many times. We wish them good luck and hope to get the first 3G touch devices they release.
