Philips' Xenium X710 swallows 1900mAh battery whole

If there's one thing Philips' Xenium line is really good at, it's ridiculously long claimed talk and standby times; and if there's one thing it's really bad at, it's 3G. Personally, we'd rather recharge an HSPA phone once a day than an EDGE phone once a week, but for those who don't share our love of high-speed data -- particularly those in Russia -- we give you the Xenium X710, complete with dual SIM slots and a respectable 3 megapixels of autofocus power. It's got Bluetooth, an integrated FM radio, and microSD expansion, too, not to mention an unabashedly clean, simple look that does a pretty good job projecting its low-end aspirations.

I don't like it, but undeniably it's an honest phone: it's cheap sheisse and it looks like cheap sheisse.
And still it is always preferable to any phone sporting a logo (a griffe?) from: Armani, Prada, Gucci, Pucci, Hermes, Vuitton, YSL, Valentino, de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, Guerlain, Kenzo, Loro Piana, Burberry, DKNY, Versace, D&G, etc. etc.etc.
These are not honest phones. These suck.
And the nonentities who buy them are born suckers
