Philips may not be a big name in the mobile phones business, but they are trying really hard. No, we don’t see many ultra-powerful smartphones coming from the inventor of the CD, but they do have some niche devices that are certainly appreciated among their buyers. One such devices is the Philips Xenium 9@9, which has a battery that can reportedly last for two whole months in a standby mode, or up to 17 hours of continuous talk-time. And while that’s quite impressive, the phone itself provides users with (almost) only the basic features — guess that’s why it can hold power for that long. There’s a 65k color TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, a VGA camera, and the microSD memory card slot. On the other hand, you may consider it as a reliable music-phone whose battery lasts more than an average MP3 player… No word on pricing nor availability, but at the moment it’s an Asia-only device.
