At this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Philips has demoed one of its latest handset – Xenium 9@9j. Just like the rest of 9@9 series, this one also has an excellent battery life plus (pause for the drums), it can also use standard AAA batteries as a source of power. To be fair, single triple A battery is used as a backup but nevertheless it’s a great idea. You know those moments when your phone is dying and you would do anything for few extra minutes? That’s exactly the problem Philips is trying to solve with the 9@9j.
Anyway, the device boasts quad-band GSM/GPRS radio, 176×220 262K color screen, 1.3 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio, media player and of course the microSD memory slot. We’re not sure, exactly where in Asia you can grab it, nor how much it costs…
