Imagine this a cell phone that lets you talk for a whole day! Ten hours without charging is what they say. The Philips Xenium 9@9a is bereft of any extra bells and whistles but can hang on in standby for 40 days and 40 nights on a single charge, and even the most talkative jabberjaws in the world can go on gabbing all day, 10 hours without having to recharge the thing.Other than that advanced energy efficiency, the line of 9@9 phones are fairly ordinary. The Xenium 9@9d adds a 1.3-megapixel camera to the mix, while the 9@9t is a smartphone with handwriting recognition, an MP3 player and a miniSD memory expansion slot. But the long battery life will make it a big draw.

However, no Bluetoooth and IrDA here and just when we thought Philips is out of the cell phone market it is back with a bang.
