Yep, you guessed it -- an almost-untouchable 40
days of standby time (if you never use the thing,
we guess) is what Philips is marketing these babies
with -- along with 10 hours of talk time. Can
you blame them? Who carries a home charger with
them so that they can charge that ever-so-slim
Li-Ion battery every 5 hours? We're more keen
on a decent and realistic combination of talk
and standby times from the marketing departments
of cell handset makers, but we'll settle for the
dream of 40-day standby for now. There are three
separate handsets, from entry-level to what Philips
calls a "smartphone" with a 128x160 pixel LCD.
Although that low of a screen rez isn't that smart
to us -- in fact, its rather prehistoric by now
-- all three 9@9 handsets are now for sale at
the Hong Kong website of Philips.
