The dead cellphone is one of those things we've all been stuck with before, and we all know how much it sucks. You can't call people, you can't receive calls, and you just feel cut off from the world. Well, luckily for us, advances in battery technology will soon make such issues a thing of the past.

Just take a peek at this Philips Xenium 9@9 cell phone. It can last for two whole months on standby without dying. Two months! It can also deal with 17 hours of straight chatting, so you could really use this thing for a full week without charging it once. Unfortunately, it's only out in Asia right now, but it's only a matter of time before we get phones with lifespans like this. So long, dead phones. — Adam Frucci
