Philips Xenium: Simply Wow

August 7, 2008 · Filed Under Mobile Phones · Comment  · 148 views

It’s all I can say for this less than 150USD mobile phone. It’s looks is pretty ok, it’s specs are pretty so-so, but the battery life is the premium here.

The best feature I found was the auto turn-on and turn-off at a desired time you set, not that it needs this feature to save power, it is just an added plus. The power bar is the common 5 bar type, which I wish would have been better with an actual figure and percentage numbers. That 5 bars signify 12 days of standby. Now divide 12 by 5 and that is roughly how you figure out how much time you have left.

It has a VGA camera which takes average shots, although it doesn’t look pretty nice on the Xenium’s colored screen since the screen is an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED). Transfer the pictures on a computer and it looks pretty fine for modest use.

One of the actual stories connected to the Philips Xenium 9@9 is when a bunch of backpakers in China, in the Jinggang mountains last October 2001 were lost for 80 hours. One of them had a Xenium phone (I guess the older models), twenty hours later they were rescued thanks to an SMS exchange of the lost group with the rescue team.

A Reason to get a Nokia

Nokia Feeling the Heat

Nokia Feeling the Heat

Theres up to a 10% Price Cut on Nokia phones, now that’s a good reason to get the nokia mobile you have been salivating about. This is a move by nokia to put pressure on their competition.

This may also be caused by nokia feeling the pressure from increasing Samsung and LG market share. Mostly music and media phones were slashed-price but other units are discounted as well.

Now only if you could get your Nokia phone on a BestBuy vending machine… Oh wait, you can now do that on your way to the airport… See BestBuy Vending machine article in Gizmodo…
