Longer Battery Life Coming To Cell Phones?

These days the focus on cell phones are things like listening to music and watching TV. Phillips has gone back to the basics and decided to instead focus on something that all phones these days are lacking in. Battery life. I know that personally I can't go more than a couple of days without recharging, and somehow that just seems ok.

Phillips is introducing the Xenium 9@9 series which boasts 40 days of standby or 10 hours of talking on a single charge. The phones themselves aren't anything worth writing home about, the 9@9d has a 1.3 megapixel camera and the 9@9t is a smartphone with an mp3 player. Even though they aren't packed with the latest features, it's good to know that someone out there is focusing on battery life.
