What, you didn’t know Philips made handsets? We imagine that you’re probably not the only one, and we don’t blame you. They don’t offer much in the form of “cool features,” and they’re only available in two markets: Asia and Russia. Sure, both of those markets are relatively huge, but that doesn’t help much if the mobile phones being launched there are not all that noteworthy. Take the Philips X312 for example. There’s not much known about the device at the moment, and with the exception of the aesthetics, we’re not sure if there’s anything to know.

There’s another variation of this same device, too. The Philips X320 has a QVGA display, Bluetooth connectivity, an FM radio, music player, MicroSD card support, and it has a 2MP camera on the back. Now, if we were of the betting kind, we’d be willing to bet that this new version might be missing some of those features by the time it hits retail availability. After all, the X320 has them, and the X312 is a lesser model number. That shows us that it won’t have as many features as the other device. However, it does have a battery that will give you a one month stand-by period, so that’s pretty cool. Longer batteries are always a good thing.

The other device also doesn’t have 3G connectivity, so we aren’t expecting to see that on this phone, either. Again, it will probably only be made available in the mass markets of Russia and Asia, but there’s always a possibility that it gets leaked somewhere else, too. Is anyone out there interested in a phone that has a battery that can last up a month in stand-by? What do you think of its looks? Does it appeal to you? Let us know in the comments!

Two new Philips phones will hit the market in he near future – the K700 and the X501.

Featuring a full touchscreen display, the K700 is one of the few Philips handsets that don’t have an X in their name (although it’s part of the Xenium series).

Philips K700 comes with a 3.2MP camera and, most probably, with a battery that can last for at least one month in stand-by time.

The phone looks pretty cool, as you ca see in the image below:

Moving on, the X501 is a candybar that seems to be an upgrade of the Philips X500, appeared back in September 2008.

No word yet on when or where the Philips K700 and X501 will be available.
