Philips has introduced another entry-level cell phone today, the E100. This budget music handset comes with the following features:

• GSM/GPRS;
• 1.8" 160 x 128 resolution display;
• FM radio;
• 2MB (!) integrated memory;
• microSD card slot;
• Weight: 75 g (2.64 oz)

The price is just $60 (unsubsidized, of course).

Philips E100 is yet another entry-level cell phone for those who need no frills in their handset. Specifications include:

• GSM/GPRS connectivity;
• 1.8" CSTN display;
• MP3 playback;
• Integrated FM radio;
• 2MB internal memory;
• microSD memory card slot

 

Remember the Philips 9@9k released about a year ago? Then you'll probably notice its striking resemblance with the "new" Xenium X500. The phone represents nothing special, only the supposed 2-month standby is something worth mentioning. The phone will be released sometime in the near future in Russia, Turkey, and Romania.

Philips X500 features:

• Tri-band GSM/EDGE;
• 1.

Following the previous news, Philips has also posted some photos of the new 193 model, which looks exactly like the Philips 192. The company didn't provide any further information about the phone's features, but we presume it is the same simple 192 model upgraded with an FM tuner (as seen in the picture to the right).

Philips has a new basic cell phone for music lovers, the M200. It is a cool looking candybar handset with an FM tuner, microSD support, and a dedicated music key to quickly access the player. Other features are listed below.
P.S. The camera is apparently missing on this one.

Philips M200 Specifications:

• Networks: GSM 900/1800 MHz, GPRS Class10;
• Dimensions: 105 x 44.

Philips M600 is the newest music phone created for those who like high-quality music and Surround Sound.
Philips M600 Specs:

• 3.5 mm connector;
• flexible equalizer;
• up to 40 hours of continuous music playback;
• navigation shortcuts, located on the side of the phone;
• 512 Mb built-in memory;
• MicroSD slot, up to 2 GB;
• USB-connectivity;
• 1.

Philips' Xenium line-up is known for its extra-long battery life, and the latest addition to the series, the X600, is not an exception. It offers two whole months of standby time, and amazing 16 hours of talk time, which is perfect for any traveller.

However, the specifications here are not so impressive; the phone supports tri-band GSM/GPRS, and has a microSD slot and a music player.

The upcoming Philips X800 all-touchscreen has already passed the FCC and is nearing its launch. Overall, its features are pretty decent, but the lack of 3G, Wi-Fi and even EDGE connectivity is a deal breaker for most users, including me. But if they make the phone cheap, you know, I can always reconsider.

• 2.9" 240×400 touchscreen;

We have some details on the Philips X800 entry-level touchscreen phone, recently approved by the FCC.

Here's what we know:

• GSM/GPRS (900/1800/1900 MHz) + EDGE;
• 2.9" 240x400 touchscreen, 256K colors;
• WAP 2.0/xHTML browser;
• Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP;
• microSD slot;
• MP3 ringtones;
• USB port.

FCC has just approved a new full touchscreen phone from Philips, the X800.

Apparently, this one won't make it to the U.S., and the exact release date is still under question.

According to the FCC's filling, the handset features dedicated end/send buttons, a 2Mpix camera, and a microSD card slot for extra storage.
