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.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
