Well if you are going to attempt a world record make sure you do it in big style, which is exactly what regional carrier Cricket and Samsung are attempting to accomplish as they set about breaking the Guinness record for the world’s largest mobile phone.

We know mobile handsets are getting smaller and smaller these days but this time Sammy and Cricket have gone large, well extra large, well massive actually as they craft a world record breaking Samsung Messager phone out of metal, wood, lights and the stuff you would expect to find in a mobile phone.

It’s being built in Chicago, and apparently will actually work as a mobile phone, and is unveiled as of today. We have a short video of some behind the scenes action for your enjoyment below.
