Philips announces a brand new slider phone named Philips X650 in Russia and Asia. Although the X650 isn’t a phone that would shake the mobile phone industry just like what iPhone did, it has some decent features and specifications that make a competitive phone in Asia and Russia market.

The X650 features a 3.2-megapixel digital camera with autofocus, FM radio, 30MB internal memory, a microSD memory expansion slot, and a 2.4-inch TFT LCD screen. It is a tri-band GSM phone without 3G connectivity. Its battery life is pretty impressive – up to 720 hours of standby time and up to 8 hours of talk time.

Too bad, this phone won’t be available in North America.
