Philips Xenium 9@9q Dragon and Phoenix Looks Awesome!

One deciding factor I always look into when purchasing a new phone is: Will this make me look cooler? After examining Philips Xenium 9@9q Dragon / Phoenix, my answer was a double YES!

Both Xenium 9@9q has engravings of their namesake on the outside of its clamshell body. There's also a small yet functional external display where you can see if you have a new message or missed a call among other stuff.

Another thing that drew me in on Philips Xenium 9@9q is its battery life. It has a month of standby time and about eight hours of talk time. Now that's how all batteries should be made!

Philips Xenium 9@9q Dragon and Phoenix is available for roughly $172 USD.

Motorola AURA Available at Motorola Store

Though not an MP3 phone, the Motorola AURA looks like it has a competent music player. For $2000, it better be.

That's right. This baby will cost you $2000. I can't imagine why in the world this phone could cost that much, until I saw its "luxury" features. It has a cool circular display capable of showing off 16 million colors, it's protected by a 62-carat sapphire crystal, it's stainless steel, and it's textures and patterns are chemically etched.

If you happen to have $2000 lying around, please buy an AURA and drop us a comment and tell us how it fares.
