When we say Xenium, we know you start thinking of a phone that provides one heck of a battery life and of course you are not wrong there.  The Philips Xenium X650 slider can do a month of standby and 8 hours of talktime, and seems to be molded from the same clay as the others, which means that although the battery life is laudable, the handset falls flat in the rest of the categories.  The Xenium X650 features a 262k-color 2.4-inch TFT LCD display, 30MB of internal memory, FM radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, an okay 3.2 megapixel camera, and GSM 900/1800/1900MHz network support with GPRS.  Not exactly a badass even in the mid-range world, but if it’s uninterrupted communication that’s needed, the Xenium X650 is what you need.  No information on when and where this will pop up, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it stayed behind the Asian boundaries like the Xenium phones.
