AAA Battery slot added to Philips Phone

The Philips Xenium 9@9j is their latest phone which has a unique twist. The device can be powered by 2 different types of battery allowing you to carry a quick backup around with you should the occasion arise. The ordinary lithium ion battery can be found in the phone, but along side a AAA battery slot. Should the lithium ion battery die and you have no where to plug the phone in to charge it you can then pop in a AAA battery which are available everywhere and have up to 3 hours of talk time per battery.

I am not convinced that the extra bulk it ads to the phone is worth it although some people may find this feature handy.
