… and I thought my mobile has a good battery. Two months in standby is almost unbelievable, but Philips has found the recipe. Its new Philips Xenium 9@9k supports 17 hours of continuous talking and an amazing 1440 hours standby time. Divide by 24 and you obtain 60 days. Speechless!

I’ve never been a fan of Philips mobiles, but this one seems interesting. Philips Xenium 9@9k is tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900)/GPRS phone. It sports a 65K color TFT display, VGA camera, microSD memory card slot and Bluetooth. No word on pricing or availability, but the cellphone can be a nice addition for those who are not impressed by fancy, shiny mobiles.

Philips tried to make an extreme phone with extreme power battery. You will no longer charge it every day, because the new Philips Xenium 9×9s is the big brother of Xenium 9@9t which is the proud owner of a 8.5 hours autonomy battery. This is a nice thing, if you think that the average 3 hours talking is what we have today. Honestly this is a mid-level cellphone if we think of its specifications, but the battery life is what makes you love it.

The new Philips Xenium 9×9s is a tri-band GSM/GPRS compatible, with one internal 262k colors 1.8-inch OLED display and an external 80×48 pixels display. It uses AMR and MIDI ringtones, has 18MB built-in memory, shoots photos with the help of a 1.3megapixel camera and the “piece of resistance” is the 950 mAh battery that has 8.5 continous talking and 30-days stand-by (this is ONE WHOLE month, understood?).

All I think of, now, is when will they put this kind of a battery in a high-end specifications mobile phone or when do they plan the 2-3 months battery life cell. Unbelievable huh ?
