Philips has rolled a new addition to their new Philips Xenium lineup. The Philips Xenium X600 is apparently intended for mobile phone customers looking for little more than a handset that they can use for days on end without needing a recharge, literally.

The Xenium X600 boasts some of the longest battery life estimates that we’ve ever laid eyes on. With 2 full months worth of stand-by power and enough juice to keep you jabbering for 16 hours, the Philips Xenium X600 blows the competition out of the water.

Philips Xenium X600 does battery life in style

But, the price of all that battery uptime is that other features that we’ve come to expect from mobile phones have been squeezed out. What you’re left with is a tri-band GSM/GPRS clamshell with external and internal displays, microSD card slot and music player. Like we said, the Xenium X600 is aimed at those that prioritize mouth-exercise over standard handset features.
