Battery powered cell phone

Juniper Foo | Oct 24, 2007

My word, when was the last time a battery-powered cell phone made it to market? That said, Sanyo's cell-based cellular bucks the traditional look for a cylindrical cannister design that sports braille-like keys and probably looks as awkward talking on as the Nokia N-Gage was. Dressed in that signature Cupertino white we all love, this is one phone that knuckles down to barebone basics in order to wring the most charge out of a single AA Sanyo Eneloop battery. So no 3G, no camera, no MP3 player, no SMS, and not even an LCD screen!

The end result is a battery life that's touted to last a good 5 hours of yaktime and 250 hours on standby.

Did we also mention that this runs only on Willcom's PHS network in Japan? Ah well.
