WillCOM teams up with Sanyo on AA-powered bare-bones mobile phone

WillCOM and Sanyo team up for AA-battery powered mobile phone

Oh, and it’s powered by a singe AA-battery. Pop in any AA-battery and you’re good to make screen-less phone calls for 5 hours of talk time on the Japanese PHS network, or wait for an unknown caller for 250 hours of standby. Why the phone has to be as large as it is, we don’t know. But, we kinda like the quirky, battery-shaped design that pays homage to its power source.


We’re glad to see WillCOM and Sanyo working on a AA-battery-powered mobile phone for the masses. But we’d rather pick up that Philiphs Xenium NRG phone that rocks a AAA-battery power source -  it’s got a screen and doesn’t look ridiculous.
