Obviously aimed at leprechauns and oompa loompas, the super-small t509 is due to hit stores come May. Yes, if you are into phones that “eat like a candy bar”, then the t509 from Samsung may very well be just the fit you are looking for.

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. unveiled the thinnest mobile phone in the U.S. market on Wednesday, aiming to take a wider slice out of sales of Motorola Inc.’s popular Slvr.

The t509, which hits the market in May, is a candy-bar shaped phone that is thinner than a deck of cards at 9.8 mm thick and is a tad skinnier than Slvr, which measures 11.5 mm.

The phone is part of Samsung’s “slim strategy,” a line of phones analysts compared to Motorola’s popular Razr line, first introduced in 2004. Among the 12 new models Samsung plans for the U.S. by the summer, the world’s No. 3 cell phone maker also unveiled skinny clamshell or flip models and thin slider phones in which the screen slides forward to reveal the keyboard and a camera on the opposite side.
