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.

We have a new Xenium X530 phone from Philips. And it’s a flip phone too. Besides the obvious long-lasting battery which will get you 8 hours of talk time or 850 hours of stand-by time you’re going to get the following:

• Tri-band GSM/EDGE connectivity (900/1800/1900 MHz)
• 2.2 inch internal TFT display with 240 x 320 pixels and 262K colors
• 1 inch OLED external display
• Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP
• Music player
• FM radio with RDS
• 2MP camera
• NXP 5210 chipset
• 99.1 x 47.1 x 18 millimeters

The phone has just been approved by the FCC so it should hit various markets soon.

If you still believe in Philips phones than you should take a look at the new Philips Xenium 9@9q Dragon and Phoenix which are here for the holidays. The phones look good but that’s pretty much all you can expect from them. The two clamshell phones will offer you about 1 month of standy time and up to 8 hours of talk time. Both also have a cool external display which will show you unread messages, missed calls and battery power. The phones cost 4999 Russian rubles or $172. A little too expensive for what it has to offer.

Philips has lots of electronic devices which are really great but for some reason they keep making cell phones too. The Xenium X600 is the latest model announced. It’s an entry level phone which doesn’t have any significant features to show off. You will get a 2 megapixel camera, GSM/EDGE and Bluetooth support. There’s space for a microSD memory card and the battery will get you about 9 hours of talk time.

The clamshell phone will at least get you some decent music but don’t expect more from it. Check with Philips or your local carrier for pricing and availability.
