You're probably already aware Philips will be rolling out the X800 all-touchscreen equipped phone in the near future. The device has already been approved by the FCC, giving us hope the launch is imminent. Or is it?

Philips don't give up on the mobile phone market. Aside from powerful batteries, we don't see them adding some (if any) important innovations to their handsets.

But it's not my idea to rant about Philips now that they've announced two new phones. With the 198 and 199 model, the Electronics giant is targeting the lower end of the market in Asia and Europe.

Philips is reportedly working on an iPhone-like all-touchscreen device. According to PC World China, the still unannounced Xenium X800 will sport the so called "e2e" design, which translates into full edge to edge touchscreen.

The information about the device are scarce at the moment. We know it should come with a WQVGA screen and a powerful battery. We'll watch this closely; in the meantime check out two more images after the jump.

Philips has upgraded its Xenium 9@9 smartphone by changing the ordinary screen to a touch-sensitive one.

But that's not all. This new model, called btw Xenium 9@9v, also features handwriting recognition (why not, when you have a touchscreen?), dual-SIM card support and a hardly believable 1 month standby time.

There are little details known so far, so stay tuned.

We have all heard of Philips, but did you know that now they are producing cellular phones? The best thing about these new phones is the amazing battery life. The first phone they produced, Xenium 9@9 a/d/t phones, could even stay on standby for over a month! The next model, Xenium 9@9k, extended the standby to two months. Philips is offering us the newest and best in battery and handset battery life innovations.

Now, the newest thing from the world of Philips handsets, the Xenium 9@9j features AAA backup battery power options. This version of backup power can be easily and quickly replaced with new batteries if the situation called for it. Of course, the phone comes standard with a Li-Ion battery as well, but the AAA option is a nice security blanket. When the standard battery dies and the AAA battery power begins, there is no interruption to the phone. You can continue phone calls uninterrupted even as the battery dies and the backup power begins.

Announced in March 2007 last year, BackuPower provides users with a remarkably simple solution for instantly recharging their phones: by inserting any type of standard sized AAA battery -- alkaline or NiMH rechargeable -- in the phone's easily accessible cavity. The new Philips Xenium 9@9j has extended power provided by Techtium's BackuPower, it will be available in April this year.

Philips has long since exited the European mobile phone market. In fact, it has old off the mobile phone division to a Chinese company. This new company seems to aim to re-introduce the brand to Europe with a very basic candybar phone, the Philips 192. The Philips 192 is a GSM phone featuring 128×128 px, 65K color CSTN display. The bare Philips 192 will sell for around US$60.

Philips may not be a big name in the mobile phones business, but they are trying really hard. No, we don’t see many ultra-powerful smartphones coming from the inventor of the CD, but they do have some niche devices that are certainly appreciated among their buyers...

According to some Internet source, another Philips Xenium is about to be launched – the 9@9k. This handset stands out for a record long battery life on a single charge – about two months standby and 17 hours talk time...

As mobile phones continue their evolution as uber-devices for music and everything else, they've struggled with such things as external speakers--with some particularly strange ideas surfacing along the way. But here's an interesting twist: Why not make a pair that resembles the speaking end of an old Ma Bell analog receiver?

We haven’t heard anything new from Philips for some time. Is that about to change? It’s hard to tell at this stage, but their latest 9@9W model looks promising. No, it won’t bring some revolutionary features, except the Xenium-like high capacity battery.

WillCOM is always good for an interesting take on mobile phone design. We love seeing what the Japanese company is going to come up with next - modular, torch-light, headphoneswhat’s next? Well, their newest concept is the fruit of a joint project with Sanyo - the AA battery-powered mobile phone that you see to the right. This thing is just about as bare-bones as it gets. You get a few buttons, a receiving speaker, microphone, and…that’s it. No display, no extraneous buttons, nothing more than what you need to make a simple phone call.
